hi guys welcome to my coffee show my
00:03
name is jack
00:04
and today i have a
00:07
very exciting unboxing i'm sure you've
00:10
seen it before but never to this channel
00:13
we have a new
00:15
grinder to play with
00:17
and that is
00:21
df-64 guys df-64 is here
00:25
at last
00:26
i i know i said before that i will never
00:29
i will never get this grinder i don't
00:32
like the way it looks etc but i thought
00:34
you know what i have
00:37
uh eureka auro
00:39
let's let's compare it with something
00:41
similar so the eureka auro the design
00:44
you you've seen my videos before the
00:46
design it has been made as a competition
00:52
for the niche and for df-64
00:55
okay so let's see how they stand against
00:57
each other today we just do a quick
00:59
unboxing
01:00
uh
01:02
but still don't forget click like
01:04
subscribe and probably probably over the
01:07
weekend i will upload the
01:09
the video when when we put those two
01:11
grinders into the test
01:14
so i'm i'm not sure if the overhead
01:16
camera is is the best way to do it
01:19
[Music]
01:22
okay
01:23
so what we've got here well
01:26
a very minimalistic
01:30
box and experience we've got
01:33
leaflet booklet
01:36
telling you not to put anything but
01:38
coffee into the into the grinder and a
01:41
few few other
01:43
few other things that you need to know
01:45
so maybe this time i will actually read
01:48
it who knows
01:50
and as you can see in a
01:52
uk this grinder they call it solo
01:56
not easy to find a good angle to do it
01:59
but
02:01
live unboxing
02:04
of this grinder well
02:11
and here we have it
02:14
here we have it so it comes with that uh
02:18
well this cup is actually looks
02:22
kind of looks bigger than i saw on the
02:25
on the on the tv i've seen this i'm sure
02:27
you you also i'm i've seen this this
02:30
grinder many times this cup this dosing
02:33
cup actually
02:34
feels larger than than i thought
02:37
obviously it's made out of plastic
02:41
um
02:42
here uh
02:44
probably those rubber bits that you put
02:46
on the on the fork of the
02:49
of the of the grinder itself
02:53
what else
02:54
here is the bellow
03:03
the bellow looks okay
03:06
and
03:07
well it's again it's heavier
03:11
heavier than i thought
03:13
you know what it doesn't
03:16
it doesn't look that bad
03:21
you ready
03:26
and as you could see
03:28
i can see i
03:30
the design that i've chosen is a matte
03:32
black
03:34
3m
03:35
whatever whatever it means
03:38
so that's
03:39
they say that this particular design is
03:42
exclusive for
03:43
uh
03:44
bella berry stuff that's what i bought
03:47
from bella barista in uk
03:49
um
03:51
you know what
03:54
you know what it's not that ugly it's
03:56
not as ugly as i thought it will be so
04:00
we've got a nice
04:01
solo logo here
04:04
how does it okay
04:09
is there a magnet here
04:11
it might be a magnet
04:14
i kind of like this this this logo solo
04:18
probably if i keep buying stuff that's
04:21
how my life will look like soon
04:25
solo
04:26
and you can see so uh
04:29
the i didn't really have many options to
04:32
to go for so i went for the the standard
04:35
uh 64 mil
04:37
uh millimeters uh eaten male if i
04:40
pronounced it correctly the that the
04:42
standard
04:43
bears they also offer
04:46
titanium bears but i thought uh
04:50
well let's go for the
04:52
the cheapest the cheapest
04:55
option available
04:57
tell me
04:59
tell me what you think
05:04
it doesn't look
05:06
it doesn't look that bad
05:09
so from here you can see there is a
05:12
there is a dial so you rotate it you can
05:15
choose espresso
05:17
you can go from mocha
05:20
all the way to the filter coffee
05:26
so that's how you adjust the
05:28
the the grinds
05:32
nice shiny
05:34
i don't have any modes
05:36
for this grinder whatsoever but probably
05:40
i will need that ring that shows you
05:42
where
05:43
where you are on the on the settings
05:46
um
05:50
it comes with that
05:52
dosing cap
05:57
that sits nicely here but probably that
06:00
space
06:01
between
06:03
the shoot and the cup could be smaller
06:07
so the cup would be somewhere here
06:10
so that's probably another mod possible
06:14
tell me what you think about the color
06:16
the kind of a matte black
06:19
finish that i went for
06:22
i have to say it looks looks okay
06:26
here we have it
06:28
han solo of
06:31
coffee grinders
06:35
so the
06:36
the the quality of the rubber here
06:38
actually it feels it's a nice silicone
06:41
it feels
06:42
better
06:43
i mean thicker than uh
06:45
than my eureka aura
06:48
size wise
06:50
they look
06:52
they look similar you know what let's
06:54
put them next to each other
06:57
so size wise they they almost identical
07:02
the solo is a bit narrower but a little
07:05
bit longer
07:07
the
07:07
[Music]
07:10
eureka aura slightly
07:13
more swell squarish here it is square
07:16
grinder
07:17
slightly bulkier but but shorter but
07:20
the bellow is almost this one is
07:23
this one is slightly maybe
07:26
one inch less than less than one one
07:28
inch inch taller all together
07:32
i thought that the solo would look much
07:34
much much worse than cheaper next to
07:37
next to oro i mean
07:40
it's it's a it's a
07:43
it's a matter of personal opinion but it
07:46
it doesn't look that bad
07:48
wow
07:50
tell me what you think about
07:54
about my new setup
07:57
so guys here we have it here we have it
07:59
my my new grinder
08:02
my new grinder some what the plan is
08:05
the plan is first i will put it on the
08:07
table because it's too heavy to hold it
08:09
like that
08:10
i just wanted to show you from the front
08:13
the sides
08:15
how it looks like
08:16
so the power button is underneath here
08:19
as you can see
08:21
so the plan is guys um
08:24
i
08:25
will
08:26
i will first i will put like a 1 kg of
08:29
coffee beans through it just to season
08:31
the burst
08:33
to give him a fighting chance against
08:35
the the auror and then we're going to
08:38
put my grinders through the test so i
08:40
will
08:42
definitely do
08:43
auro versus
08:45
solo
08:47
or over solo
08:49
for the espresso on my barista express i
08:52
will put it against uh
08:55
kmax hand grinder for a pull over and
08:58
when i get the niche i will put all of
09:02
them into the test we will see we will
09:04
see which one
09:06
is is the best of them all
09:08
so definitely click like subscribe
09:11
and hopefully hopefully i will see you
09:14
soon thank you very much for watching my
