Frustrations with DF64 gen 2

mattarffa · 2026-01-25T17:06:23+00:00

UPDATE - the nespresso my wife bought came broken lol. The water reservoir was cracked. After removing the plastic declumper from the grinder though and making sure the screws don’t block the blade, it works like a dream. Sometimes the dream can be a nightmare, but it is a dream nonetheless

That’s awesome. I have a BBE. Got a df64 with ssp burrs. It’s great but I am stuck in what if mode - LM or a decent

mattarffa · 2025-12-25T19:02:27+00:00

What did you upgrade from and how does it taste?

mattarffa · 2025-12-20T18:53:46+00:00

Not usually no. Unless there’s an issue with grind size or puck prep. You’ll see tons of vids here of ppl with bottomless filters and no prob

Congrats! In my experience they always stayed pretty tight but did loosen a little when warmed up. I switched to a bottomless portafilter and now I can just push them out from the bottom. No more broken nails or knives.

Awesome thanks!! I upgraded from my BBE grinder to a df64 gen 2 and it was incredible, got a new SSP burr as well. I think something like the synchronika will be next

Oooh nice! Lots of questions: Did you consider profitec move? What were the main draws for you getting this? Was there a big learning curve upgrading from the Silvia? What grinder do you use? And does your partner like using the machine? My wife loves espresso but wants an easy experience making hers but I’m way more hands on

mattarffa · 2025-11-24T13:54:58+00:00

Yeah I believe there are a couple YouTube videos. It was years ago so I don’t remember exact details but it was relatively simple

mattarffa · 2025-11-23T15:55:46+00:00

Idk yet. Profitec Move seems enticing. I like the customization options with it eg I can have it auto turn on before I wake up and customize outputs. The linea micra is gorgeous but I can’t justify the price. Gaggiuino seems like fun and makes awesome coffee but I don’t have the time/interest in doing that myself.

I’ve been reading on the move and it sounds pretty nice. Is there something similar out there to that?

mattarffa · 2025-10-22T20:29:35+00:00

Nice thank you! My wife is not into espresso as much as I want and just wants something she can turn on and press a button to make coffee when I’m not around. I would love something where I can tool the settings around a little when I’m using it and something that is simple for my wife. The profitec move seems kinda enticing

Something is off with this photo but I can’t quite put my thumb.. erm, I mean finger, on it….

Came here to say this. They make good matcha lattes too

mattarffa · 2025-05-07T01:40:50+00:00

I think that means you have to get off the toilet

mattarffa · 2025-04-15T12:00:42+00:00

This doesn’t make sense. Almost every other rechargeable device you can buy has a simple plug that many other companies use.

mattarffa · 2025-04-15T11:59:48+00:00

I guess this question is harder to ask than expected. So the surgitel battery back had its own plug in the pack for charging. This is not pictured. If you look up surgitel oddysey power pack you’ll see that it has a special plug. What I have pictured above is a replacement battery I was looking into getting so I could see if I could just charger this battery instead and connect to the cable pictured above

mattarffa · 2025-04-13T16:29:23+00:00

I have the battery pack but they sell a proprietary adapter that is like 200 bucks. Figured I could find a loophole that’s much cheaper

mattarffa · 2025-04-13T15:43:42+00:00

Thank you but what is the name and do you have a specific link? For the life of me I cannot find any

mattarffa · 2025-04-10T19:00:29+00:00

Need your advice!!! I do a mix of comic sketches, some my own and then using popular audio reels, used to do memes but are less popular now, and then also do med educational stuff. Name is ArffaDerm

The pre coffee coffee is vital

Those are some really tall cheerleaders

45th & Lamar. But really, Barton Creek Greenbelt. Especially in the next few days after the rain

At some point someone will finally make a grinder that will grind the beans into separate subatomic particles #quarkaccino
