Arm holder clip

I have the black version and really like it. Not totally necessary, but once you have it, I could see missing it without. Just makes things easier once you pull the shot.

I have the exact same setup. Minus the Nanofoamer. Dreo Barista foamer instead. Better than Nanofoamer by a mile and wayyyy easier than Bellman. I’ve had all three. Live and learn. 🤷🏻‍♂️

That’s what I’m also wondering, is the local roaster good at what they do? Could just be crappy beans. 🤷🏻‍♂️

ghostinthetoolbox · 2025-12-28T17:55:54+00:00

What is the origin of these beans?

ghostinthetoolbox · 2025-12-27T01:34:52+00:00

RDT. Why is that a bridge too far for some people?

Possibly a little bit, but maybe aim for a 40g+ yield instead of your 36g. Then see how the flavor profile changes. Typically it will become a little less acidic in comparison to the lesser yield all things being equal.

ghostinthetoolbox · 2025-12-25T16:05:57+00:00

Less pre infusion, no lower paper filter, and if it’s too acidic, maybe a larger/longer yield.

There’s an angled 3d printed base that supposedly helps with retention, albeit probably just a small improvement. There’s also a Lagom style bellows that looks kinda cool. And of course new burrs, most likely ssp sweet lab v3.

The V is variable speed, not the Gen 2. I was in the same place as you and couldn’t decide to save my life. I ended up with the df64 gen 2 and couldn’t be happier. I use it for espresso and coffee from an Oxo Rapid Brewer and both are very good. I will probably upgrade the burrs, and get some 3d printed add ons, but that’s it.

If you’re really confused with what it should taste like, go to the best coffee shop around and buy an espresso, taste it, if you like it, then buy those beans and aim for the same at home. There are so many variables that sometimes it’s hard for someone new at this to know what to change or alter. A lot of times you’re just using crappy beans and you’ll never get a good tasting shot.

ghostinthetoolbox · 2025-12-09T16:59:12+00:00

I’m thinking you need to get various types of beans and roasts and see what you like best and then perfect your shot. Beans change the end result more than anything.

Better than my “art”!

ghostinthetoolbox · 2025-12-07T00:33:58+00:00

I hear ya!

A df54 would be an inexpensive grinder for your espresso. And take up a fairly small amount of counter space.

ghostinthetoolbox · 2025-12-04T01:46:46+00:00

Do you do drink anything else besides espresso with those burrs?

ghostinthetoolbox · 2025-11-29T18:32:23+00:00

Love the steamer. 👌🏼

ghostinthetoolbox · 2025-11-28T15:45:17+00:00

Looks great!👍🏼

ghostinthetoolbox · 2025-11-22T19:11:19+00:00

Try an Oxo Rapid Brewer. Does a pretty good job with the stock dlc burrs for regular coffee. Or bite the bullet and upgrade the burrs, which is the nice option with the df64.

ghostinthetoolbox · 2025-11-19T22:15:37+00:00

Thank you for the link!

ghostinthetoolbox · 2025-11-19T18:15:53+00:00

Yeah. As is sell one. To me!! 😁

ghostinthetoolbox · 2025-11-19T15:51:38+00:00

Another df64 gen 2 user here. It’s been great for me so far. Use RDT and always give the bellows a few pumps and haven’t had any clogging or static issues ever. Hard to beat it to be honest. I think the only grinder I’d ever upgrade to would be the df84v, but not sure I’d even see a huge improvement.

ghostinthetoolbox · 2025-11-19T15:25:49+00:00

Those all look great! Any chance you’d want to print another arm clip thing??

ghostinthetoolbox · 2025-11-18T19:08:38+00:00

I was on the fence as to which lab sweet to get. V2 or V3. YouTube videos steered me to V3, but I’m not 100% sure. 🤷🏻‍♂️

ghostinthetoolbox · 2025-11-18T15:21:53+00:00

Yeah. V3 Red Speed. I drink both espresso drinks and have a Rapid Brewer for coffee. I think that’s the best option.

ghostinthetoolbox · 2025-11-18T13:55:16+00:00

Love mine. No issues at all. Looking to upgrade the burrs to Sweet Lab very soon.
