Turin DF64P

ollymarsay

I just received my DF64P from Bella Barista (£429)
All I’ve done so far is season the stock burrs with some QA failed coffee from BB.

My very first impressions:

Looks great, very heavy and sturdy build
Lovely fluffy grinds from the stock burrs (planning on changing to SSP MP in the New Year)
Adjustment dial feels great, we’ll see once I start to dial in for the first few shots
LOADS of static without RDT so far
Seem to have some misalignment of the burr set as supplied

Q: Has anyone else received theirs and had any experience adjusting burr alignment?

Nice! What’s retention like? Is there much retained in/behind the chute?

MediumRoastSteam Testing so far is 18g in 17.8 - 17.9g out w/ bellows, so around 0.1 retained. The place it seems to get stuck is behind the declumper, so you definitely need to make use of the bellows on this guy.

I bought this grinder from BB back in April 21. They’ve made some changes since I bought mine, but I’ve made some mods.

Not sure the SSP burrs are worth it. Mazzers are a great upgrade on the stock and a fraction of the price:

dutchy101 - this is the “P” version. Adjustment is very different, at the bottom of the grinder (the lower burr carrier moves) rather than the top burr.

I hadn’t even clicked the link assuming it was the same grinder haha. Had no idea they had released this one - never noticed the ‘p’

dutchy101 Apparently the ‘P’ stands for professional. As @MediumRoastSteam mentioned, the lower burr carrier moves and adjusting them appears to only be possible from the base of the unit - Hoon shows the adjustment process off best here:
