I'm glad this option is available for aligning the burrs. This is quite advanced for your average consumer. I would assume anyone with an issue would expect the warranty to handle this type of work.
This man is giving you instructions usually reserved for discerning enthusiasts of coffee. Not really the crowd a $230 grinder attracts. Of course your machines are under warranty and you could send them back. Just know that people who spend a lot more money on other grinders do this because they want to improve the grinding. Not because they have to. My df54 is working great but I came here to get guidance on disassembly because I will be testing alignment on mine soon. Thank you for this video.
Umm... I would argue that the "crowd" of people who are willing to spend 230$ on a coffee grinder IS that of discerning coffee enthusiasts. Ask anybody on the street how much they paid for their coffee grinder. 99% will look at you confused and say that they buy pre-ground. This IS a grinder for coffee enthusiasts. Just not the rich type. But everyone who buys this grinder knows what they get and what they don't get. And people like that (people like me) are fine with a bit of tinkering if it saves them hundreds of dollars.
@@HenryPiffpaff everything is relative. It depends where you are on your coffee journey.i aligned mine and I’m happy to report got a nice return on investment for pour overs 👍
People just need an aftermarket rubber dial indicator instead of a heat gun. Also stupid that you cannot have a similar zero to df64 that’s so weird to not be able to zero
you kidding me that you spend all that money on a grinder and you still have to make adjustments where I understand should be done by manufacturer. I pass it.
Everything comes at a price. If you compare prices, you'll realize that this grinder is relatively cheap. Not that I wouldn't wish that the manufacturer took care of it, but then you can probably add another 50$ to the price - which at this price point is a substantial increase.
i just received my DF54 last week and it came perfectly aligned. It’s very rare you have to do this process. For the money, you cannot go wrong with this and the brand as a whole.
@@neilvillanueva6449 oh really? Well, I have had my current ceado for years and never had an issue. I’m looking for a new grinder just to have but it seems like the alignment issue is common, but I guess only the people that had issued the report.

It's kind of shitty that we can't rezero the DF54 easily. I hope this will be fixed in future designs.
What is the paste you used on the foil?
Just looked like reassembly grease to me.
Does the marker contaminate the beans?
Use water-based marker and wipe off after you have done the alignment.

This video made me order the ceado e6p sorry but way too much work
That's like 3 times the price ...
@@KaranRajpal yeah but you get what you pay for. I'm certainly no longer considering the current brand and am now going to purchase the e6p.
