DF64 Gen 2 - Chute covered from outside (?!?)

Brand new Grinder. After couple of weeks, I was curious to look under the hood. There was the chute covered in ground coffee... I wonder how the heck it got there! Because all ground coffee should be contained within the chute.

Wrote to Espresso Outlet and they sent me a chute replacement right away. I'm still not convinced that it is the chute's fault. Still need to do the overhaul.

Has anyone encountered this situation before?

DF64V bearing upside down

Hi! Was done cleaning my DF64 gen3, but unfortunately I messed up and I don’t know what side of the top burr carrier bearing has to be on top, if that even matters (heard that it does), any suggestions?

Df64, upgrade notable?

Hola! Este es mi setup. Gaggia classic E24 y Baratza encore esp.
Estoy con un problema del baratza, se me rompio el anillo que sujeta las muelas y desde ahi la molienda en 0 es muy gruesa para mi shot de espresso. Llegando a sacar extracciones de 18gr / 36 en 10 segundos.
Soy de argentina y los repuestos de baratza no llegan directamente por ende va a estar al en pausa por un tiempo.
Sumado a esto estaba evaluando la posibilidad de mejorar el molinillo y pasar a un Df64.
Estuve leyendo bastante del molinillo y tengo muy buenas reseñas sobre el resultado en taza. Entiendo que el workflow puede ser un poco molesto por la estatica pero con un buen wdt va a ayudar bastante.
El df 64 gen 2 es el que esta disponible para comprar.
Ustedes que opinan? Me recomiendan el molinillo?
A mi me importa mas que todo el resultado en la taza.
Muchas gracias por leer y saludos!!

[Help] SSP burrs alignment

I just got a new df64 and installed new pair of Ssp Mp_v1 brew burrs. Then to check alignment, i did the marker test by chirping the burrs and I can't seem to get any wiping off. I did reinstallation and tried both manual chirp and and motor chirp but no wipe is seen. Please help as I can't seem to find the reason. Do i have to shim the burrs? But if so, do i shim all the three sides?

Espresso milestone moment. After 3 years of making drinks for myself, my daughter decided she likes iced lattes.

She’s almost 13. She has never enjoyed coffee, until today. I made myself a caramel iced latte, and she wanted to try it. She has tried them before and always HATED them. But today was different. She liked it, but it was a bit strong for her. It was 24g:48g, so yeah, probably a little strong for her. So I offered to pull a weaker shot for her, and she accepted. I pulled a 17:17 for her with cocoa powder, vanilla syrup and caramel sauce. She prepped the ice and milk, I pulled the shot, she poured the shot in the milk and topped it with whipped cream and chocolate syrup. She LOVED it, and that made me happy.

DF64 Gen3 - turn RPM display off?

Does the Gen3 have the ability to turn of the RPM display screen?

I usually keep my grinder and espresso plugged in all day. Im concerned about the longevity of the display screen if it stays on 24/7.

zero point shifting (df64v)

Hi guys,
I have the DF64V for a year now and it has been working great. I use my grinder only for espressos. I typically rotate between two different types of beans each month.

I’ve been paying more attention to my consistency and i noticed my shots have actually been a bit inconsistent, because the grind size keeps drifting unpredictably. I know the physical zero point is actually shifting on its own, because when I check for the burr chirp, it is no longer at my calibrated zero.

I basically have to recalibrate the zero point every time I clean the grinder (~4-6 wks). Is it normal that the zero point shifts so regularly?

Button broken, nobody will ship from the US..

Hi, so I was very happy with the gen 2 but my button broke, like with many, but I can't find a proper replacement button in the EU. Only US, they won't ship, same for UK.

I also asked a repair shop to look at it, they didn't want to.. Such a shame that this happens and I can't seem to fix it. Any ideas?
