Wrong hole spacing, marred up plastic, didnt fit cover
Decided to replace my DF54 chute after the de-ionizer gave out, the part which arrived had the wrong and chunked hole sizing + spacing, didn't fit the existing cover, and had a gouge in the plastic where the tool bit must have slipped when drilling the mounting holes.
Luckily I no longer need a replacement as the grinder has started to shave away the grinding chamber resulting in aluminum in the grinds.
The machine is solidly built with quality parts and engineering, it has features not present on similarly priced machines or even higher priced ones. It performs very well and makes quality espresso, and it’s easy to maintain as well. Overall it’s a very worthwhile purchase.
The Turin DF64 Gen 2.5 delivers impressively consistent grinds, making it a joy to use for everything from espresso to filter coffee. Its stepless adjustment is smooth and precise, and the overall grind quality is top-notch. The only drawback is that it can be a little messy when trying to get every last bit of grounds out, but that’s a small trade-off for such excellent performance.
