Turin DF64-P Single Dose Coffee Grinder: Black

Turin DF64-P Single Dose Coffee Grinder: Black

Coffee-Tech will introduce the DF64P Premium grinder. The Coffee-Tech DF64P is similar to the Coffee-Tech DF64 and will not replace it. The Coffee-Tech DF64P is simply a premium version of the DF64 and will be manufactured alongside the DF64. The DF64 remains a popular product and will continue to be made. A grinder such as the DF64 can grind a variety of coffees, while the Coffee-Tech DF64P Premium is designed for espresso only and has less range in grind size adjustment, allowing for more fine tuning of grind size.

Difference between the Turin DF64 and the DF64P

• The DF64P has an anti-popcorn hopper, the DF64 does not
• The DF64P has a colored coating vs the DF64 which has a colored vinyl wrap
• The DF64P has wood accents, the DF64 does not
• The DF64P is an espresso only grinder, the DF64 can work for a range of coffees
• For grind size adjustment, the mechanism on the DF64P adjusts the bottom burr when grind size is adjusted, on the DF64 the top burr is adjusted.
• The DF64P costs more to produce and therefore has a higher price point than the DF64
• The DF64P has a more compact design, with the length and width footprint being 4.87” W by 7.37” L vs the DF64 which is 5.2” W by 10” L. Without the bellows on the DF64P is very similar in height to the DF64 at 11.5” vs 12”.
• The DF64P is not built on a slanted base like the DF64 is. When the design for the DF64P was being tested with a tilted base vs a non-tilted base. When bellows were used there did not appear to be a difference in retention. The bottom burr adjustment mechanism worked better without the tilted base.

Features

• Single Dosing Grinder with Low Retention The Turin DF64P Premium is a single dosing grinder that has rubber bellows that can be pumped at the end of the grinding cycle to force retained grounds out of the grind chamber. With this functionality there is less waste as there isn’t a need to purge coffee from the grind chamber prior to pulling a shot.
• Anti-Popcorn Hopper The DF64P has a small anti popcorn hopper and can be used to put your dose of coffee into after it has been weighed out. If you choose to use the grinder with this hopper you can grind your coffee without worrying about beans “jumping” very high when the beans hit the spinning burrs.
• Optional SSP Burr Upgrades As with the Turin DF64, we will be offering optional burr upgrades to the SSP High Uniformity or the SSP Unimodal burr sets.
• 64mm DLR Burrs The 64mm burrs in this grinder will provide for outstanding particle size distribution, which is a very important aspect of making the best flavored espresso possible.
• Low Clumping Design The grinder is designed to reduce clumping during the grinding cycle, which provides for a more even distribution of water during the espresso extraction process.
• 58mm Portafilter / Dosing Cup Holder The grinder is designed with a portafilter rest that will allow the grinder to be used by either grinding into a dosing cup, or by grinding directly into a portafilter.
• Bottom Burr Adjustment and Steady Burr Position With the design of the top and bottom burr carriers, the distance between the burrs is designed to remain very steady and uniform throughout operation, providing for more uniform particle size distribution. With bottom burr being the one that is adjusted, the grinder can be taken apart and cleaned and put back together without messing up your grind size. It is also easier to clean the burr chamber compared to the Turin DF64 design, as cleaning involves simply removing two bolts with a metric hex wrench vs spinning a collar numerous times.
• Wood Accents Wood accents have been added to this grinder to give it a premium look and feel. The lid on the grinder as well as the top burr carrier holder are made with wood.
• IMPORTANT: Always adjust the grind size with the grinder on and the burrs spinning. Always pump the bellows at the end of the grind cycle, while the grinder is still on and the burrs are still turning.
