DF54
We may earn a commission when you buy through links on this page. It doesn't change our picks. How we're paid
A single-dose grinder with 54 mm flat burrs, stepless adjustment and almost no retention, for around the price of a $200 hopper grinder. It is sold under several importer brands (MiiCoffee, Turin and others) rather than by one maker.
Who it's for
Good fit if
you want flat burrs and very low retention on a budget, and don't mind weighing beans for each shot.
Skip it if
you want a hopper you can fill once a week, or plan to try many aftermarket burrs.

What reviewers agree on
Each point is made by at least two of the independent reviews linked after it. We don't own or test the products we cover; see how we choose.
- Retention is very low: about a tenth of a gram once you use the bellows. (Coffee Chronicler, Tom's Coffee Corner, Coffee Blog)
- It grinds well for espresso and performs above its price. (Coffee Chronicler, Tom's Coffee Corner, Coffee Blog)
- The body is mostly metal and feels solid. (Coffee Chronicler, Tom's Coffee Corner, Coffee Blog)
- Few aftermarket burrs are available in the 54 mm size. (Coffee Chronicler, Tom's Coffee Corner, Coffee Blog)
- It is fairly quiet for its type. (Coffee Chronicler, Coffee Blog)
- The rubber bellows fit loosely. (Coffee Chronicler, Tom's Coffee Corner)
Worth knowing
- It is a white-label product sold under several brands, so the actual manufacturer isn't clear and warranty support depends on who you buy from. (Coffee Chronicler, Tom's Coffee Corner)
- Specs here come from US and Canadian sellers' listings and the linked reviews, because there is no single maker's product page.
Raised by one reviewer: the dial is screwed on, which makes cleaning and recalibration harder (Coffee Chronicler); the dial needs two hands and it grinds slowly for espresso, about 1 g per second (Tom's Coffee Corner); some readers reported clogging on earlier units (Coffee Blog).
How it compares
- vs. Eureka Mignon Specialità ($599 US list): a hopper, timed dosing and very quiet operation, at more than twice the price.
- vs. Baratza Encore ESP ($199.95): conical burrs, stepped espresso range, a hopper and Baratza's US repair support.
- vs. Breville Smart Grinder Pro ($199.95): conical burrs, 60 steps, a hopper and timed dosing.
