MiiCoffee DF54 Single Dose Coffee Grinder (Black)

**Excellent coffee grinder - highly recommend!** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really impressed with this MiiCoffee DF54 grinder. The grind consistency is fantastic - much better than my old blade grinder. It's surprisingly quiet for a burr grinder and the build quality feels solid. Easy to adjust grind settings and minimal mess. I use it daily for my morning coffee and it's made a noticeable difference in taste. Great value for the price and would definitely buy again!

Ich habe wochenlang Mühlen recherchiert und bin immer wieder bei der DF54 gelandet – und es war die richtige Entscheidung. Für diesen Preis bekommt man diese Kombination sonst nirgendwo: Scheibenmahlwerk, Single Dosing und praktisch keine Retention. Was man einwiegt, kommt auch raus, vielleicht bleiben 0,1-0,2 g zurück, mit dem Blasebalg quasi nichts. Die Mahlqualität ist hervorragend für Espresso, die Verstellung ist stufenlos, sodass man wirklich präzise einstellen kann. Auch kaum Sauerei, die Antistatik funktioniert besser als erwartet – kurz mit dem Blasebalg gepustet und das Mahlgut fällt sauber in den Behälter. Sie ist auch leiser als gedacht. Der Workflow ist simpel: Bohnen abwiegen, mahlen, fertig. Kein alter Kaffee mehr, der im Bohnenbehälter liegt, jeder Bezug ist frisch. Die Verarbeitung fühlt sich solide und schwer an, nichts rutscht auf der Arbeitsplatte. Man müsste deutlich mehr ausgeben, um spürbar bessere Ergebnisse zu bekommen. Für Home Baristas ist das Ding ehrlich schwer zu schlagen. Sehr zufrieden.

Después de buscar bastante, me decidí por este molinillo y ha sido un acierto total. Lo uso principalmente para espresso con mi Delonghi Dedica y también para cold brew, y en ambos casos el molido es excelente y muy consistente. Lo que más me gusta es lo fácil que es ajustar la molienda según lo que vayas a preparar. La calidad del molido es brutal, se nota la diferencia en el café. Además, apenas retiene café entre dosis y es muy fácil de limpiar. Si le tuviera que poner un pero, sería la pieza que marca la molienda podría ser ajustable para ser más precisa a la hora de reajustar el cero (ahora mismo la solución es imprimirla en 3D y sustituirla). Es verdad que hace un poco de ruido al moler, pero nada exagerado. La construcción es robusta, se nota que está bien hecho. Si tienes una Dedica o cualquier cafetera de espresso casera y para iniciarte en el mundillo del café de especilidad, este molinillo es la pareja ideal, marca una diferencia enorme en el resultado final. Muy recomendable si te tomas en serio el café en casa.

Absolutely amazing grinder for the money. Too bad my cat ate the rubber portafilter holder while I was away 🥹

1 Month Update: I still really love this grinder. Best value purchase for the grind quality you get. After about 1-2 weeks of use, I noticed more static in the grinds, but a simple clean with the included chute brush resolved this and it's back to clean static free output. I've also started to spray my light roast beans, but not necessary for dark to medium roasts. I still love the look and how sturdy yet quiet it is. I also recommend hot starting for grinding to help maintain grind consistency. No clogging issues whatsoever. You can't go wrong with this grinder if you're looking for something for home that provides a quality grind to elevate your espresso journey. Original review: I wasn't one of the early adopters of the DF54, so I had to wait for the next batch shipment to be available so I could get my hands on one. My previous grinder was a Baratza Encore that barely met standards in terms of a good espresso grind (very inconsistent, muddy flavors), which it wasn't really designed for. I've read some of the complaints of the DF54 in terms of the zero point and static issues and I have to say so far I have none of those issues. Maybe they tweaked the manufacturing to address some of the prior issues to improve Quality Control on these latest arrivals. 1. My DF54 right out of the box hasn't had any static issues yet, even when grinding light roasts (which tend to have more static than darker roasts). 2. The Zero Point was spot on. Just turning the dial a hair past "0" was where the gear "chirping" happened, so I'm happy with this calibration. 3. First few grinds had a little bit of retention, but after that and using the bellows, the final grind comes to +/- 0.1g from the initial beans dosed. 4. Some video reviews talked about how the bellows come off too easily from the grinder, but with mine, the bellows are fairly snug that if I try to remove them, the "anti-popcorning" cap slips out with it, so seems everything fits well together. I haven't check the burr alignment on this unit, but so far I don't feel like I need to. For Espresso grinds, I have it set in the vicinity of 20, and my shots so far have produced wonderful clarity for fruity notes, but enough smoothness for flavors like vanilla. Very satisfied with my purchase. I really love the compact design, the quiet operation and pairs well with my Bambino Plus. I'll provide an update in 1 month.
