Single dose grinders with large 83mm burrs are usually a pretty pricey investment, with many models costing over $2000. Until now that is. With the new Turin DF83 single dose grinder, you can have an affordable 83mm flat burr grinder for the price that a lot of much smaller burr grinders go for.
Low Retention Single Dosing
The uniquely designed burr chamber allows coffee to be quickly and efficiently, and is very low retention even without the use of bellows. With many other single dose grinders, there is a decent amount that remains in the chamber and has to be removed by using a bellows. With the DF83, during numerous tests the amount that remains behind without bellows is very minimal. We do still recommend using the bellows at the end of each grind session with the burrs still spinning in order to keep the burr chamber as clean as possible at all times, but it usually won’t remove much.
83mm Stainless Steel Flat Burrs, Upgradable to Titanium, or SSP
Stainless steel burrs are the standard design, but we have the option to upgrade to Titanium or to a few SSP burr options. For further information on SSP burrs and which one is best for you, check out our SSP burr pages.
Hopper
The DF83 can also be used with a hopper if you prefer not to single dose or if you have a larger amount of coffee you want to grind, such as for cold brew or if you want to use this grinder in your business environment.
Wave Spring Washer
Unlike the DF64 which uses springs to hold the top burr carrier in place, the Turin DF83 uses a wave spring washer. While the springs work for the narrower DF64, the wave spring washer design works better for the wider DF83. With the wave spring washer design, taking the top burr off can be done by simply unscrewing the top burr collar.
Painted Aluminum Body
For a premium look and feel, the high quality metal body of the DF83 is beautifully painted in either a black or white finish. The finish is similar to the design of the Turin DF64E or DF64P, but is different from the Turin DF64 original, which is vinyl wrapped aluminum.
Holder for Dosing Cup or Portafilter
As with all the Turin DF64 variations, the Turin DF83 will hold a dosing cup, or a 58mm portafilter. The dosing cup is a durable plastic, but there is also a metal dosing cup option.
Original Design
The Turin DF83 is designed in house by the owner of the manufacturing company and is an original design. The burr chamber is uniquely designed to have as little retention as possible.
All Purpose Grinder
Being an all purpose grinder, you will be able to grind beans for a wide range of different brewing methods, from espresso to French Press.
Stepless Adjustment
There are no steps in the adjustment mechanism of the DF83, which means you will have an infinite number of settings between the largest and smallest settings, allowing you to fine tune your grind size as much as you want to.
Metal Dosing Collar
In order to prevent the grinder from making a mess and getting coffee all over the place, the grinder includes a metal dosing cup collar. It can also be flipped over and used with a 58mm portafilter if you prefer to grind right into your portafilter.

Customer Reviews
Pros: This grinder is so powerful. It's like driving a v8 with a ton of horsepower. I have so much fun using it. The accessories like the dosing collar, dosing cup, and hopper are all nice too. I also like that I can see and clean debris in the grind chamber and feed it back into the burrs. The bellows does a good job with blowing our retention.
Cons: there is a good amount of retention without using the bellows. Blowing it out can cause a mess. Static is reduced in the cup (due to the plasma generator probably), but fines stick to the grinder from using the bellows. But this doesn't sour my mood given how easy it is to use this grinder. I have a Fellow Ode 2 and its anti static tech is better, but I enjoy using my DF83 more.
The exit shoot still needs some work. I get quite a bit of retention and build up in the shoot. I can deal with the noise it only lasts for so long when you're single dosing but it is loud. The needle on the number Disc needs some work it doesn't line up with the numbers and lines. The lines are all the same size so it is hard to count maybe every Fifth Line should be a little longer.
No issues with the grinder so far, it's easy to adjust and makes really tasty espresso.
I have used it through about one kilo so far. My thoughts are that its great, I do not make espresso so I am waiting on some lab sweet burrs at the moment but it does work for pourovers. It produces some extra fines but not enough to compromise a brew. I didnt like that the catch cup falls out as its running, i simply tied a twist tie around both of the lower bars it rests on and it was corrected so its not really an issue. I am a little curious about the plasma generator they added last minute after I placed my preorder. Im not sure how that component specifically works and would like to see it without having to take apart my own unit. I am hoping to get 5-10 year longevity out of the unit it does feel well constructed so i have high hopes that it will last that long.
It's perfect working. I love to make a coffee by DF83
