Turin DF64 (Gen 1)

Equipment notes

The DF64 is a single-dose grinder from the Turin brand; Turin takes its name from the Italian city of Turin, while the products are made in Chinese factories. The DF64 (Gen 1) is an early-generation model that arrived at an accessible price during the low-retention single-dose boom, aimed at a workflow of grinding one fresh dose at a time. Its electric 64mm flat steel burrs cut particles evenly for the uniformity and clarity typical of a flat burr, while stepless adjustment lands continuously on a target fineness without clicks, raising dial-in resolution. A low-retention structure cuts dose loss and carryover, so even with frequent bean changes the brew draws mostly on freshly ground coffee. It suits home baristas who want to start low-retention single dosing at an accessible price, and beginner-to-intermediate users who want to tune espresso and filter themselves.
