Single Dose Grinders
Precision grinders for your daily coffee ritual.
Choosing your equipment
Single-dose coffee grinders let you choose the beans for every brew. Weigh one serving, grind it fresh and keep the rest of the coffee stored separately. Explore Turin models for home espresso, filter coffee and portable brewing.
Who Single Dosing Suits
This workflow is useful if you change coffees frequently, alternate regular and decaf, or make only a few drinks a day. You control the beans going into the grinder instead of relying on a hopper timer. A coffee scale is an important companion because single dosing describes how you load the beans; it does not mean the grinder automatically weighs the output.
For a household making many drinks from the same bag, compare timed dosing grinders as well. Weighing each serving can be enjoyable and flexible, but it adds a step to every drink.
Compare the Main Turin Platforms
The DF54 offers 54mm flat burrs in a compact home grinder. The DF64 Gen 2.7 moves to a 64mm flat-burr platform with compatible aftermarket options, while DF83 Gen 2 uses 83mm flat burrs. Compare the actual burr configuration, counter space and adjustment system rather than choosing by diameter alone.
For conical burrs, the SK40 has geared stepless adjustment, while the DC63 offers a larger conical platform and magnetic chute access. These are different ways to build a weighed-dose espresso routine.
Fixed Speed or Adjustable RPM?
A fixed-speed model leaves you to concentrate on dose, grind size and brewing. CF64V, DF64V and DF83V add motor-speed control for people who want to explore how RPM interacts with their coffee and burrs. Change one variable at a time and judge the result in the cup; a lower or higher speed is not automatically better.
For travel, TrekGrind adds rechargeable portability. Its battery and dose capacity need separate consideration from a countertop grinder that stays plugged in.
Understand Retention and Daily Care
Single-dose grinders use different combinations of bellows, chute design and static control to help move grounds through. Some coffee can still remain, particularly after a large adjustment or a bean change. Check input and output while learning your grinder, follow its operating sequence and clean the exit path as directed. Choose the correct electrical listing before ordering; 220V models are listed separately.
Does single dose mean zero retention?
No. Single dosing means loading a measured serving of beans. Retention depends on the grinder, coffee, grind setting and cleaning. Bellows and an accessible chute can help manage carryover without promising identical results for every dose.
Should I weigh beans or ground coffee?
Weigh the beans before grinding and check the collected grounds when dialing in, changing coffees or investigating inconsistent output. This makes it easier to distinguish a recipe change from coffee left in the grounds path.
Can I keep beans in a single-dose hopper?
Follow the model’s instructions and capacity limits. If your preferred routine is storing beans above the burrs and dispensing programmed servings, a purpose-designed hopper and timed dosing grinder is the more relevant category to compare.

Love our Turin
After doing a lot of research and talking to many of our coffee aficionado friends, we decided to buy Turin DF64. And boy it hasn't disappointed us one bit. We are grinding coffee beans daily for different types of extractions. Highly recommend it to everyone.

A terrific choice for single dose brewing
If you’re in the market for well built grinder for single dose brewing and nearly zero retention, add this grinder to your cart ASAP. Pairing with my Lucca A53, I was concerned the portafilter support forks would be too large. They are in fact, but the Turin grinder is so fast, you’re not going to rest it there anyway. Even better, I can articulate the 53mm portafilter to distribute grounds around the basket while grinding. The forks are close enough to rest the PF on, just not enough to hold it unsupported. The grinder took a few pounds of coffee to break in the burrs. Straight out of the box the coffee (espresso) was just a bit flat, but now that’s done with. The Turin has gone through a few changes based on owner feedback. It’s not worth deducting a star, but I have two minor things I'd address. First, the rubber feet on the machine are leaving black marks on my counter. Petty complaint I know, but no one reaches perfection without improvement. The second is the layout of the grind setting markings. To help these older eyes, I would rather the numbers be closer to the hash marks and/or the marks be printed at different heights, similar to a tape measure. To solve the issue on my Turin, I colored over every 5th mark with red sharpie and now it’s ridiculously easy to get a quick read on my settings. The subtle pop of red looks good too. It’s fast, relatively quiet. Easy to keep clean, has nearly zero retention and looks perfect next to the LaSpaziale.

From DF83 toDF83v
After 3 years of daily 1st Gen DF83 use… A user abuse left me in need of a replacement espresso grinder.
The DF83v was ultimately what I committed to purchasing.
Every step of my daily coffee is improved.

Amazing
It's beautiful. Design is stunning. The control over grind is very precise. My espresso is now perfect. So little retention with the bellows. If you are crazy OCD then blow it out with a Wolfbox blower on high after using. What a deep dive down the engineering rabbit hole of perfectionism. I sometimes pull out the antique hand grinder for a rough irregular grind of cheap beans and make some boiled coffee to keep grounded.

Good one!
I waited almost a month for my order to arrive and that was not necessarily what I was expecting but I stuck in there until it finally did. Now I am enjoying truly excellent lattes which was my goal. It was easy to setup and use and that’s a plus. Since it is still new I don’t have any issues to report such as ease of cleaning etc but it seems fairly straightforward. Bottom line for me: worth the wait.
