I have one and agree it is great but needs 10 to 15 kilos of coffee to break in the burrs. First coffee of the day always seems to run 10 sec slower but still good! Any thoughts?
Wow! That seems like ALOT of coffee to season the burrs. I was lucky enough to be loaned a demo version, which has been well used previously. I can't imagine why the first coffee of the day would be affected so dramatically due to the grinder... I would usually lean that issue towards the machine... Are you single dosing & "hot starting"?
What's your espresso machine ? Do you have an e61 group head ? Sounds like you are not letting the machine get hot enough for the first coffee of the day. Colder machine, colder water, takes longer to extract and also won't taste as good. Make sure you are near 93-94 celsius for medium roasts and about 96 for lighter ones, if you have a PID.
It’s unfortunate for us Kiwis, as no one imports/supports this particular model grinder in New Zealand. Of course your link is an option to purchase in Aussie.
@sAmiZZle82 Yeah. I know. I own one. It looks great in the kitchen and it's very heavy. Oozes quality. Grinds more than fast enough and the stock burrs are great (i200d)
Very doubtful frankly. It is from Mazzer so that's a big plus, but the df83 has bigger burrs and costs significantly less. I was between the 2 and just ordered the df.
@@mitchdoescoffee here's the thing, larger burrs don't really mean anything in a home setting. Will it grind a bit faster? Sure. Doesn't really matter to a lot of people. The Philos grinds plenty fast. Adjustable RPM is a gimmick. It hasn't been proven that it does anything to improve taste. A lot of people also hate bellows, including myself. My Philos has zero retention when using the knocker.
Yep I absolutely should have waited and got this instead of the DF 83 It's significantly quieter and the variable RPM would be fun to play with I wonder how you found the espresso produced in comparison to the timemore Keen to see other reviews with it especially if you mess around with the variable rpms.
I don't know if I would encourage you to sell your DF83 to buy this... as I doubt you will see "that much" of a difference in your espresso. But in comparison to MY experience with the Timemore, these guys aren't even on the same field. DF83v is by far the superior grinder.

@@mitchdoescoffee Single dosing and hot starting. Coffee machine fully up to temp. 30 mins on. I live in southern Tasmania and humidity is high!
Maybe weigh the output of your first grind of the day compared to the next. Perhaps something is causing retention?

Hey mate, Dipacci NZ is a reseller. 😎

Australian retailers are pretty good about warranty on NZ used products, and vise versa
DF64coffee do
I think the Mazzer Philos offers a lot more value at it's launch price.
I'm not sure if you realise from the pictures and reviews, but it's huge

I would have to disagree.
DF is 25-30% cheaper, Larger burrs, Adjustable RPM, 680w motor (vs 400w), Quieter & comes with bellows.
