prezes A lot of trial and testing is required to see what difference does each change of rpm make and what impact on flow, taste etc it’s got. This is a task for @tompoland grinder lab!

It’s on my list of comparisions for sure.

I also want to blind taste compare 64mm verus 83mm burrs, starting with SSP Espresso (HU)

(Just received an email to say that my DF83V (and DF54) are being shipped this week.)

Great post thanks, super interesting.

    prezes that’s one hell of a tin foil shim…

    Decent De1pro v1.45 - Niche Duo - Niche Zero - Decent is the best machine ever made -

        So Niche has been back since Saturday. In my opinion the shots are less fruity and offer less clarity but are very well rounded.

        I’d love to be able to keep both as I am impressed with df83v and had no issues with it but as can’t do that and original intention was to play about with it I will be selling it on.

          Niche Zero or Duo?

              prezes easy fix: pop the DF burrs in the Duo. They are relatively inexpensive compared to SSP.

                How are owners finding the adjustability? Early days yet, but after 3kg of seasoning, I’m finding that a one digit change in the dial results in quite a big change in the flow rate. Unlike the DF64V and DF64 Gen 2 or the Duo. It either needs more seasoning or the thread pitch is not fine enough.

                  DavecUK good point thanks. I normally check first thing but can’t recall doing that with this one. I’ll report back.

                    Yep… now where is my box of shims…

                    Still a bit wonky? What’s everyone think?

                    (Suspect it’s a matter of ‘close but no cigar’.)

                    Latest. The lighting makes it quite hard to see in a photo but in looking at it physically it seems pretty even.

                    @prezes so sorry I’ve been posting on the wrong thread. @admin @DavecUK can you my delete my posts please?

                    Still not happy with the jumps I get in flow rate from a one digital change on the dial. Having carefully aligned it I’m going to run another 6kg of supermarket beans through it over Easter. My guess is that will settle it down.
