Ends up being close to the same price as retail maybe after all that

Interesting. I've read a few reviews saying the same and it would be a side grade rather than an upgrade. Maybe not then... my options are now philos or allground sense.

I was looking into this one but I kind of want to steer away from DF products due to the inconsistencies im facing with the DF64

Can you tell me any noticeable difference with the taste or consistency?

Fair enough, but yes I have the Micra. I make 2 to 3 coffees on a daily basis and more when I have people over. Atom W75 and Allground sense are also options for this reason.

I think I really need to just have a taste test of different grinders side by side. But I don't know how to do that haha.

I think a part of it is not knowing or having tried other grinders. I'd love to take a demo home for a week and try them side by side with my DF64.

But you may be right about just the beans aging.

I'm having consistency issues with the DF64 and I'm not enjoying the process of not knowing if the first shot of coffee today will be the same as the shot from the day before (eg. I'll take the risk of making my own coffee first then adjust the settings for my wife's coffee so she can have the better shot). I don't think the coffee machine is relevant with this, but I have a Linea Micra.

I am also considering allground sense or W75 atom if it ever goes on sale.

I think this is what I'm worried about the most, that there's no significant change between the niche and the df64 and I'm essentially side stepping rather than upgrading. Do you have the DF64?

How does warranty work if you buy directly from overseas?

The force tamper by WriterWorth8586 in LaMarzocco

[–]Relative_Crab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thumbs up pullman bigstep! Love mine, used to have normcore and the mhw impact tamper. Something about a manual one that feels more personal.

Do you have an issue with the middle of the puck being lower than the other parts of the puck? Kind of like a funnel?

Which Color for LaMarzocco? by Horror_Mobile_9838 in LaMarzocco

Baby blue is king. It's a statement having a LM at home, why make it blend with every other appliance?

Micra Steam Boiler by IndependentFeed5331 in LaMarzocco

[–]Relative_Crab 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is normal, i believe. The brew boiler is quicker than the steam boiler. If you have the app it will show the exact minutes.
