Need your professional opinion at the moment I have the Titanium burr and I think I will use it for a while because it's brand new. One more question I have two options for water that I can use for my Espresso One is mineral water with calcium 20ppm and TDS 90-105mg/I been told mineral helps for better-tasting espresso ?. The second option is reverse osmosis water without minerals. Guess without minerals taste will be less but less build-up (mineral /calcium in the boilers? What would be the best option?
i dont recommend using minerals in boiler type espresso machines unless you are using the minerals that doesn't contain any calcium at all. TDS usually is fairly low in singapore. I wont advice using reverse osmosis water though. i like water that has potassium, magnesium
Hey there! Thanks for the shout-out! Have you done any alignments with the SSP high uniformity espresso burrs yet? Curious if it would be any different than the unimodal.
really thank you for the support. This morning I make a filtered coffee with the ssp multipurpose and its simply amazing...the clarity and sweetness I am getting..
When doing the marker test, should I go to the finest setting and go coarser bit by bit until I can rotate the burrs by hand, or go finer bit by bit until the burrs start to touch?
people think the ssp burrs taste different and better. supposedly the ssp burrs are sharper and help grind the coffee faster. ssp is a company from south korea and people are really excited about them.
great video thanks, at the end you mention the 10’ titled base helps with the alignment proses. How exactly? I would not expect that to influence burr alignment. Is it just easier to work on at that angle? thanks again.
I can only relate in my own user experience but I cannot provide any scientific explanation on how the 10 degree stands makes burr alignment easier. One confirmed advantage is that the coffee ground now exit the chute better and grinding chamber is much cleaner. Of course, this can also be due to the fact that I have modded the declumper as well,
so that's all you have to do to check for alignment? you just have to check which of the 3 possible positions that you need to be attaching the top and bottom back together? will it always be a 100% match or will it just be the "best results of the marker test" is the alignment you end up going with?
@@CaffeMartellaSingapore is it possible to use aluminum foil "shims" to achieve the same results? I've seen other videos where the technician uses it to make it aligned.
Regarding burrs, are all same diameter burrs compatible with any grinder ? Reason I ask is because I have a 75mm quamar q13E, and thinking about upgrading burrs
With the SSP burr change the new zero mark is no longer at the 6 o'clock position (bean icon). This indicates that that SSP burrs must be thicker than the original burrs. If you order the DF64 with SSP burrs does that mean that the collar numbers will better line up with zero at the 6 o'clock bean icon position? ...or will the SSP burr even from factory always mean that the zero mark is now at the 3 o'clock position regardless?
I was wondering the same thing. I think that’s why CY has that plastic collar that he can move around to point at the new zero point. Perhaps one easy solution is to print a new circular label to stick over the original? Preferably something that won’t be impossible to peel off once you decide to return to the stock burrs. I’m sure CY could easily make that, and hopefully with a nicer font too. Cheers!
My Meade telescope RA circle is movable as it is housed like a bearing. Its very stiff so it doesn’t move accidentally. Could be a mod or upgrade in the future for this grinder.
I've been leant an Atom 65 (currently using a J-max) by a friend and thought it would be great to check the alignment of the burrs to make sure all is running well before I begin. His was used in his coffee shop but burrs seem in good shape. Performing the marker test everything seems even all around, but the flats aren't completely cleaned of marker. The inner point remains and only the outer edge is rubbed away. On both top and bottom burrs. So I'm not really sure if that's normal or where to go from here haha. Any advice from anyone?
@@CaffeMartellaSingapore oh great, thanks. I’m still waiting for mine to arrive, will be printing all your mods :) nice to know I don’t have to get new tubes for the springs
@@WTFBOOM25 it comes with the grinder. Just that it is always not placed at the right position and this will be the reason why some will experience very small range for espresso.
Do you have the links to the 3D print files for the base, collar ring and anti popcorn if I want to print them for my own personal use? Also does the collar ring number hole still align with the numbers on the new DF64 collar?
Hi , thank you for your Chanel! But please remove your alignment videos, they are far below your level. Your alignment does not consider the lower burr. With your method the upper burr now is OK aligned but the lower one still could be total off. For a complete alignment you need to shim the bottom burr (too). Best regards and thx for your videos.
thanks for the feedback. The bottom burr we aligned with a calipers but choose not to show on video because not everyone have that and usually from my aligning with so many df64, bottom rotary burrs carrier are usually quite good. Thanks for the feedback anyway.
@@CaffeMartellaSingapore ok this is nice to hear! A Remark, for the bottom burr watermarker method with shims (al foil) works fine. Thx for your videos!!! Btw what do you think about ssp cast for filter?
Thanks for the video. I followed your exact steps and I got perfect alignment after the clockwise turn as well!
this is awesome!
Rewatching this for when they are back in stock :)
Just installed mine ! What an upgrade over the stock burr !
what is the difference between the stock burr and the dlc ... i cant afford the ssp ... so those are my only 2 options thanks
Thanks for all the wonderful DF64 videos, CY.
Awesome explanation as always, Bro!!!
Thanks bro!

Hey there! Thanks for the shout-out! Have you done any alignments with the SSP high uniformity espresso burrs yet? Curious if it would be any different than the unimodal.
Yes I have done it and I will first be comparing the filter coffee then move on to espresso
really thank you for the support. This morning I make a filtered coffee with the ssp multipurpose and its simply amazing...the clarity and sweetness I am getting..
When doing the marker test, should I go to the finest setting and go coarser bit by bit until I can rotate the burrs by hand, or go finer bit by bit until the burrs start to touch?
first start at burr lock. then slowly rotate by hand until it is free to spin with burrs touching.
@@CaffeMartellaSingapore thanks. Mine was 90% wiped off, but I'm afraid I might've spun too much (about 4 revolutions) ?
@dan138zig its all right. the number of revolution you spin wont affect the % wipe.
@@CaffeMartellaSingapore thanks a lot!

does it damage the burrs when youre spinning at the 0 mark and you hear the burrs touching?
the outer rim of the ssp HU dont really grind any beans at all. Hence it wont do damage by just rubbing the burrs.
@@CaffeMartellaSingapore would the same principle apply for the SSP MP burrs?
@justmemikey Should be similar
Great video CY
Thanks Dane!
so that's all you have to do to check for alignment? you just have to check which of the 3 possible positions that you need to be attaching the top and bottom back together? will it always be a 100% match or will it just be the "best results of the marker test" is the alignment you end up going with?
it's the best position of the the 3 which may not be 100% aligned. but if u ate able to get close to 90% its pretty good.
@@CaffeMartellaSingapore is it possible to use aluminum foil "shims" to achieve the same results? I've seen other videos where the technician uses it to make it aligned.
How's this burr upgrade for filter coffee compare to hand grinder like comandante c40 /kinu?
Hello! Thank you for the video, for purely filter coffee grinding, would you advise going with the SSP- filter burrs, or with the multi purpose ones?
I will go for SSP brew burrs
Regarding burrs, are all same diameter burrs compatible with any grinder ?
Reason I ask is because I have a 75mm quamar q13E, and thinking about upgrading burrs
It's not. They are not all compatible with one another.
Not sure why three colors are used on the top burr....just mark one and it's respective hole. Kinda impossible to mess up....
Its just personal preference. 😂

I believe its well aligned.
Where did you get the silicone tubes and what are the specs? Diameter etc
the silicon tube comes with the grinder. You just have to set it right.

Wonder how u clean the marker
Just grind some old beans
Sorry I’m strictly Milan Italy Grinders made in Italia.
Why sorry. Everyone has the right to decide which grinder they want to buy and use.
So why do you comment under a g-iota video?
He is curious why these Chinese grinders grind much better than some of the Italian made grinders.
