I have bought quite a few grinders from https://www.df64coffee.com (7 in total) and they have given me a discount code for use with my last order, future orders and to share. The code is tompolandcommunity and it should shave 10% off anything you order from that website.
I am not receiving commision on sales.
df64coffee is an outlet/supplier, not the manufacturer.
I’ve also bought a DF grinder from a local retailer and I’ll continue to do that where the price differential is within 15% or so of df64coffee but I’ll keep ordering from the latter where the price differential is substantially more or when I simply can’t get a certain grinder locally as was the case with the DF64V and DF64 Gen 2 where availability here in Australia was several months after availabity from df64coffee.
DF grinders are normally aligned at the factory. If you buy one you’ll likely see thin metal shims. However df64coffee also check for alignment of each grinder prior to shipping. Every grinder I’ve recieved from them has arrived perfectly aligned. I noticed that some grinders came with two sets of shims, one thicker than the other. When I inquired why, df64coffee replied that the thicker shims were the type that they used. Make of that what you will; that the factory alignment is sub-par or that the extra care taken by df64coffee is impressive, or indeed, both.
I’ve seen posts on HB and CS from people asking if df64coffee are kosher because their pricing is generally very sharp but they don’t want to take the risk of buying from an unknown supplier. I’m happy to report that I’ve had reliable support from df64coffee. If I email them, I receive an auto-response to say that I should expect a personalized response within 3 days and to date they have been true to that. So not lightning fast but dependable and helpful nonetheless.
