What do owners report about the DF64 Gen 2?

7 reports · 3 sources, across 5 topics

  • reaching the hopper: Two reports describe the hopper: an angled base makes loading beans easy while the grinder stays tucked under a wall cabinet, but the lid lifts off with no safety interlock, which the other report raises as a risk with a child nearby.
  • room above: One report says a unit on a 3D-printed angled base stands 15 inches tall and fits tucked under a wall cabinet.
  • what a new unit needed first: Two reports, both from the same forum thread, say the burrs arrived badly out of calibration: in one they met well below the dial's zero mark, and in the other the grinder had to be calibrated before it ground properly.
  • how loud it is: One report, after almost a year of use, calls the grinder too noisy and screechy.

Makers and retailers publish 3 of the 7 figures a fit check uses; the other 4 you measure on your counter like this:

  • Space behind it: Measure from the wall to the front edge of your counter with a tape, take away the depth above, and keep at least a hand's width of what is left behind the machine for its cable and air.
  • Space beside it: Measure the open counter between the wall or the next appliance on each side, take away the width above, and check that what is left gives your hand room at the knobs and the steam wand.
  • Space above it: Measure from the counter to the underside of your upper cabinet and compare it with the height above; the difference is the room you have to open a lid or reach the top of the machine.
  • Front working reach: Measure from the front edge of your counter to where the front of the machine will sit, and compare it with the length of your forearm; that is the room to lock in the handle, slide out the drip tray and stand at the machine.

Nothing fits on its own, it fits a particular counter, so this page holds the figures and a setup makes the call.

Who is the DF64 Gen 2 right for?

Your counter has 5.1 in (13 cm) across and 8.9 in (22.5 cm) front to wall to give it, with 11.8 in (30 cm) clear above.

The one thing to check first

Depth is published at 8.9 in (22.5 cm), and it is the figure most likely to end this search. Measure the space you have against it before anything else. Measure from the very back of the item to the very front, at its deepest point. (manufacturer)

When is another machine the better pick?

Your counter is tighter than that. The Encore ESP Grinder is 2.6 in (6.5 cm) shallower, in the same category, and we have its width, depth and height figures too.

Encore ESP Grinder

What is left for you to check?

Grind quality: nobody here has held one, so there is no verdict.Reliability over five years: nobody here has held one, so there is no verdict.Build quality: nobody here has held one, so there is no verdict.

How much power does the DF64 Gen 2 draw?

DF64 Gen 2 draws 250 W at 120 V. Every figure behind this is a manufacturer's published dimension, and nobody has put a tape on one.

What owners report

What owners say in their own reviews and posts, on the things no maker states: the tank, the hopper, the room around the machine. We quote them; we never use their words as a measurement or a fit answer.

In short

Seven reports describe the DF64 Gen 2. Two say that on an angled base it stands 15 inches tall and tucks under a wall cabinet while staying easy to load, though neither names the generation. Two found it far from zeroed out of the box, one with the burrs touching well below zero on the dial. One report, after almost a year of use, calls it way too noisy and screechy, and another says the lid lifts off with no interlock, so a child could reach the burrs while it runs. The biggest caution is quality control: a long-standing forum member judges it inadequate on these grinders and advises weighing after-sales support before buying. The full reports are below, grouped by topic.

Noise, mess, the first weeks, how it holds up: what owners wrote about the days after the box. Reviews, in their words, counted one by one; none is a measurement and none touches the fit answer.

what a new unit needed first2 reports · 1 source

Two reports, both from the same forum thread, say the burrs arrived badly out of calibration: in one they met well below the dial's zero mark, and in the other the grinder had to be calibrated before it ground properly.

  • out-of-the-box, it was not Zeroed (not even close)

    a new unit arrived with the burrs nowhere near zero and had to be calibrated before it ground properly

    a forum post, www.home-barista.com · 2024-03-09

    the same post recommends checking the zero point before the grinder is first switched on

  • My burr touch was (clockwise turn) 1 inch below 0 on the dial

    on one unit the burrs met well below the dial's zero mark, which is how far the factory setting was out

    the statement covers the DF series and budget grinders broadly, not the Gen 2 specifically

Every fact, with its source and its date · 6 facts · 1 where published figures differ

The size, and where each figure comes from

DF64 Gen 2 is 5.1 in (13 cm) wide (df64coffee.com, 10 September 2026), 8.9 in (22.5 cm) deep (df64coffee.com, 13 September 2026) and 11.8 in (30 cm) tall (df64coffee.com, 10 September 2026). Every figure behind this is a manufacturer's published dimension, and nobody has put a tape on one.
