Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Consumers highlight mixed experiences with the products. Some people are satisfied with the quality, especially considering the price, while others report issues such as clogging, inconsistent grind sizes, and metal shards in the grinder. There are different opinions on whether the product meets expectations, with some praising the grinder's performance and others finding it unsuitable due to engineering flaws. Regarding order processing and delivery, people report varied experiences. Some appreciate the fast shipping and delivery, especially from Singapore, while others mention delays, lack of updates, and issues with tracking. The customer service experience also seems inconsistent. While some reviewers praise the responsiveness and helpfulness of the support team, others express frustration with slow responses, unhelpful communication, and difficulties in resolving issues like returns, refunds, and incorrect orders.

Let's go head on

Let's go head on. Their shipping is slow. It may take weeks between placing an order and getting it delivered. If you can't take it - move on.

But if you have some time - this is a great company. Their products are fantastic. Their prices are great. They respond to requests within a day. They honestly addressed every issue I had (like they sent a wrong model and quickly replaced it, explained how to clean the grinder until I was happy).

So they are honestly trying to provide high quality products and keep the prices low at the expense of slower shipment. I think it's fair.

No support when coffee machine arrived broken. Steam pipe broken off and water leaks everywhere. It does not function at all.

I find this misleading as the item was listed as being in stock in the website for UK users at the time of purchase. But this is actually a international shipment. It took 7 days to get the tracking code, and the tracking code took 3 weeks to be 'trackable' in the UK.

It worth 3 stars because you get what you paid in terms of the quality of the product.

Thank you for your feedback Tim — we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

To clarify, the product was indeed in stock at the time of purchase, but it is fulfilled via international shipping, which is stated at checkout. You selected standard (free) shipping, which prioritises affordability over speed and you paid $0 for shipping.

For transparency, express shipping to the UK typically costs USD 60–80, and we also absorb import taxes and duties on behalf of our customers. As a result, our margins on this order were very slim.

Tracking for standard international shipments can take several days to be activated locally, which is normal for cross-border logistics.

Customers who require faster delivery are encouraged to select expedited shipping or purchase from a local retailer at a higher price point, in your case you made a good deal of savings.

We always aim to provide the best value possible, and we appreciate your acknowledgment of the product quality.

However, it's a little sad we feel that you give us a 3 star when you got a best price and afterservice from our engineers from us which we strive to achieve.

Today I received DF54 (ordered on January 6). The box is a little wrinkled, but everything seems to be fine. Even the needle is calibrated to Zero. The wire is quite long, which is convenient. Everything is OK with static, even without humidification. If you have 54mm, it is advisable to purchase a cup separately, it will hold well in its native holder with an elastic band.

Unfair cancellation policies and lack of transparency

I ordered a DF64V V2 grinder with an initially stated delivery timeframe of mid to late December.

After the purchase, I was informed that delivery would be delayed until February 2026. When I requested a cancellation due to this substantial change, the seller refused a refund unless I accepted significant deductions (5% fee plus USD 80 shipping), despite the fact that nothing had been shipped.

Repeated references were made to a “no refund” policy, even though the delivery terms were changed unilaterally and significantly after purchase. The issue was only resolved after escalating the matter through my credit card provider, who issued a full refund.

From my experience, EU customers should be very cautious. The handling of pre-orders, delivery delays, and refund requests lacks transparency and does not appear customer-friendly.

Hello Jahn,

Thank you for sharing your experience and for your patience.

We would like to clarify that the new DF64V Gen 3 model required additional refinement and quality improvements before release. Our priority is to ensure that every unit delivered meets performance and reliability standards, and this unfortunately resulted in an unexpected delay. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and for the delay in communication during this period.

Regarding refunds, our standard policy for pre-orders was applied; however, we understand your frustration given the revised delivery timeline.

We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve our communication and pre-order handling going forward. Transparency and product quality remain important to us, and we are working to improve both areas.

Thank you again for your time and understanding.

You can email us at hello@df64coffee.com anytime for us to assist, thank you.

SCAM WARNING: They refuse refunds on out-of-stock items!

placed an order (#22528) for a DF64V V2 ($499). Over a week later, they emailed me saying it was out of stock until February 2026 (3 months later!).

When I asked to cancel and get a refund, they actually replied: "I am so sorry there will be no cancellation / refund."

They tried to hold my money hostage and force me to swap for a different, cheaper grinder (CF64V) that I didn't want. They claimed they couldn't refund me because of "credit card fees," which is a lie and a violation of merchant rules.

They are based overseas and think they can ignore US consumer laws. Save yourself the headache and buy from a reputable local distributor instead.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your frustration and would like to clarify the situation.

At the time of your order, the DF64V V2 was listed as backorder/pre-order, which is stated on the product page. Once the factory production confirmed a longer-than-expected lead time, we informed you and offered alternative solutions, including a product swap or store credit, in line with our stated sales terms.

As outlined in our terms and conditions (available at checkout), pre-orders and special orders are non-refundable once processed, as payment is committed to upstream suppliers and transaction fees are not reversible. This policy is applied consistently to all customers and is not specific to this order.

We do not “hold funds hostage,” nor do we intend to force substitutions. Our team provided available options based on stock realities and supplier constraints.

That said, we understand this experience was disappointing, and we remain open to resolving this amicably. We’ve reached out privately to discuss next steps.

We appreciate your understanding and the opportunity to clarify. My name is anna at hello@df64coffee.com, please contact me, thank you and happy new year!

df64coffee.com Initial Order Review

Review edited on 31/12/2025

After some initial scepticism and having first posted an unfavourable review, I believe it is only fair to retract my original comments and amend this review in favour of the company.

While the initial communication was not ideal, once proper dialogue was established and I had clearly explained my frustration, the company was willing to work constructively towards a resolution. I amended my order, which was then dispatched promptly and delivered within the stated timeframe.

I purchased a DF64 Gen 2, and it is an excellent grinder that performs flawlessly. I am very pleased with the product.

The only reason for a three-star rating is the difficulty experienced during the early stages of communication. My recommendation to future customers would be to communicate frequently and be firm regarding your country’s consumer rules and regulations. The company appears to be relatively new, and I expect their processes and communication will continue to improve as they gain more experience in the e-commerce space.

Sold me a faulty DF64v V2

I bought the grinder expecting great things based on reviews I've seen online.

However, since buying this grinder I've had nothing but issues.

- Clogging. From the moment I turned on the grinder I've had 0.7-0.8g retained every dose. The declumper seems to be defective and doesn't look as it should. Even after cleaning it out it still clogs.

- Motor struggling. The grinder moves across the counter because the motor seems to be working too hard unless I feed the beans in 1-2 at a time, this is on low RPM also.

- Deep scratches internally in the grinder

- Chipped metal on the body of the grinder where the chute attaches (probably the cause of the clogging)

- Sent me the wrong burrs

- Assured me that the burrs were aligned before sending it to me, both aren't aligned.

- Center bolt for lower burr carrier was loose

Cannot get consistent grind setting because I have to keep taking the top of the grinder off to declog and every time I put it back on the settings change and it needs to be zeroed again. Impossible to dial in a shot because of this.

Really disappointed at how unprofessional customer support has been. They love to point the finger and play the blame game when clearly the product is fault, defective and visibly has issues.

The first thing they said to me was to add 20 to my grind setting and that will resolve any issues. My grind setting was already at 30 to begin with. Instructions state that espresso would be somewhere in the region of 0-30, so I knew this advice was just wrong.

I'm still waiting for a response from them to resolve this via replacement or refund but they have went quiet and stopped replying. I will update if I get any solution but right now I'm not convinced based on other reviews and what I've seen on reddit!

Please save your money and don't buy from this company!

Hello Jamie,

Thank you for your message and for providing a detailed update on the issues you are experiencing with your grinder. We sincerely apologize that this discounted open-box unit has not met your expectations and for the frustration you have felt regarding your customer support experience.

We have reviewed the history of this specific open-box unit. The previous customer reported that the grinder was functioning well before it was returned. However, we understand that you are encountering multiple issues, including clogging and inconsistencies with the grind setting.

To address the burr alignment issue you revealed with the marker test, we recommend performing the standard user procedure of shimming the burrs with aluminum foil or paper tape. This is a common and effective step in the coffee community to achieve perfect alignment.

Please try this shimming procedure and let us know the results so we can continue troubleshooting within our warranty terms.

Best regards,
--
Warmest Regards
Anna, Export Executive Manager

11/11/2025 Response to Ryan young:

A full refund is not possible as it falls outside the scope of our warranty and return policy, which you agreed to upon purchase. However, we remain fully committed to resolving any issues together — by providing replacement parts and clear guidance on installation.

We understand that you have declined this resolution, despite it being in line with our stated shop policy at checkout. We sincerely apologise for the mismatch in expectations.

You have also requested that we bear the cost of two-way express shipping (from your country and to China) and two import taxes, which would amount to approximately USD 400–500 — nearly twice the value of your original purchase (USD 230), which was shipped to you free of charge via express service.

Additionally, we must address your statement indicating that you will continue to share negative information until a refund is issued. Please understand that such actions may be viewed as coercive and could constitute defamation or blackmail, which are serious legal matters.

That said, our goal remains to resolve this matter amicably through customer service. As a proactive solution, we have offered to send you a newly designed chute and declumper, which will be ready in approximately three weeks. We are confident that these upgraded parts will resolve the clogging issue you have experienced.

We remain committed to supporting you and ensuring your grinder performs as intended.

Sincerely,
DF64 Coffee Support Team

10/11/25 Response: Hi Ryan,

Thank you — we received the two videos you sent and we take this very seriously.

We’re sorry you’ve had a poor experience. We stand behind the quality of our products and want to resolve this quickly and fairly. To investigate and help you as effectively as possible, please confirm the following (if you’ve already provided them, thank you; we have what you sent and are using it):

Order number and purchase date

Machine serial number(s) shown in the videos

Cooperation by our emails sent to you.

We will not engage with threats or attempts to extort. If you persist with threats or blackmail, we will preserve all communications and, where appropriate cooperate with any investigation. That said, our priority here is to resolve your equipment issue — please send the details requested so we can proceed.

Anna.

This is to reply to your email you sent to us "
I’ve sent you 2 videos already. Have you looked at these? Please respond to this.

You’re just lying. For “context” based on reviews and the reality , your machines break regularly about 25% on average. Which equates to 15,000 of your 60,000. You know this, which is why you claim you don’t have a refund policy.

I will continue to spread awareness of your faulty product and horrendous customer service until I get a refund.

Regards"

I had a 15 years old Mazzer mini grinder with a hopper, I wanted to go single dose, and this one caught my eyes and heard recommendation from a friend.

The DF54 is an amazing coffee grinder

The DF54 is an amazing coffee grinder — the price-to-quality ratio is outstanding. It was delivered to my home (Rotterdam) by DHL within 12 working days, just as stated. Tracking updates only started once the grinder arrived in the Netherlands, but that’s clearly mentioned on the website, so no problem at all.

Customer service was very responsive and answered my questions quickly, usually on the same working day. Everything was well packaged and arrived complete with clear instructions and even a cleaning brush included. For this price, you won’t find a better grinder. Highly recommended! ☕👌

Appalling conduct knowingly reselling faulty products, zero accountability

I purchased a DF64 grinder, which was faulty from the very first use. The unit clogged constantly, sprayed grounds all over the kitchen, and produced wildly inconsistent grind sizes even with the same beans. A brand new grinder should not require full disassembly, vacuuming, and cleaning just to function, yet DF64 insisted this was “normal performance.” It is not. This is a fundamental design flaw and makes the grinder unfit for its basic purpose.

After months of troubleshooting at their insistence, including part swaps and dismantling the machine, nothing improved. I was forced to waste endless time trying to make a defective product work. The replacement unit they eventually sent was no better, with exactly the same issues of mess, retention, and inconsistency. Clearly, this is a systemic fault, not “user error.”

At one point, DF64 offered to send me a replacement ioniser part, and I accepted this in good faith as a final attempt to resolve the defects. Instead of honouring that, they began emailing me with aggressive and harassing messages, setting arbitrary deadlines, and threatening “serious action” against me. This, despite the fact that my family was overseas, dealing with a sudden bereavement, and I had already complied with their endless demands.

Their emails even labelled me a “problematic customer” admitting they had listed my defective grinder for resale before even collecting it. That is appalling and shows blatant disregard for consumer rights and business ethics.

This company knowingly sells and resells defective grinders, refuses accountability, and bullies customers instead of standing behind their products. The DF64 grinder is poorly engineered, messy, inconsistent, and unsuitable for anyone who values reliability in their daily coffee routine.

I strongly advise avoiding DF64 Coffee altogether. Save your money and purchase from a reputable brand that respects both its products and its customers.

REPLY TO RESPONSE:
Your response is false and deliberately misleading. The first grinder you supplied was defective from the very first use, repeatedly clogging and requiring dismantling and vacuuming just to function. The replacement unit was also faulty, spraying coffee across the kitchen every single time it was used. To suggest this was a “minor adjustment” is a complete misrepresentation.

You claim you sent me “two free dosing cups” when in reality the one that came with the grinder was faulty and you replaced it once. That was not a gift, it was a basic warranty obligation.

You also offered to send me an ioniser part which I accepted in good faith, yet instead of honouring your own proposal you bombarded me with aggressive emails and arbitrary deadlines while I was overseas managing the sudden death of a family member. That conduct is harassment.

Most disturbing is your written admission that you placed my defective grinder up for resale before even refunding me. This is unethical, dishonest and demonstrates blatant disregard for consumer rights.

The truth is simple. DF64 Coffee supplied two defective grinders, falsely presented a mandatory replacement as a “free extra,” reneged on their own offer of repair, and resorted to harassment and threats rather than fulfilling their legal obligations. No consumer should ever have to deal with a company that behaves this way.

We are writing to address the ongoing concerns regarding your grinder purchase and to clarify the situation.

First instance: You reported that the initial grinder was faulty. After reviewing the unit, we found it to be in good working condition, with only the declumper requiring a minor adjustment. Nevertheless, we replaced it with a DF64 grinder. We also sent you 2 FREE Black Dosing cups. Please note that shipping alone cost over USD $200 for all the replacement units and warranty parts, which we fully absorbed.

Second instance: You later reported that the DF64 grinder was also faulty. Throughout our correspondence, you repeatedly requested that we send a technician to your location and everything to be a FREE replacement. As we have explained, our products do not include on-site service coverage outside our operating region. Customers seeking local warranty support are encouraged to purchase through local distributors. We also state that we send parts and video advise on all defective units. You disagreed heavily on this.

Regarding your refund request — we have already agreed to process a full refund upon return of the grinder. You only need to attach the provided shipping label and send the product back. Once we receive it, the refund will be issued immediately.

We have always acted in good faith and fulfilled our obligations as a seller. We ask that you cooperate with the outlined return procedure so we can bring this matter to a fair and prompt resolution.

Very satisfied with DF64 II

I ordered a DF64 II August batch. It was sent before the minimal shipping date, and I even received it before that!
The grinder is awesome, way better than my Italian one, the grind is uniform, without lumps. It's quick to grind, not that noisy (still compare to my Italian grinder, it's even less noisy and quicker).
It's also "clean" and doesn't spill coffee everywhere. Retention is minimal, as advertised.
I had to contact them for an import tax issue, and they were very quick to answer.
I'm very satisfied.

Extremely Poor Customer Service & Unfair Policies

I placed an order for a grinder but accidentally selected the wrong colour. I immediately placed a second order in the correct colour and emailed the company asking to cancel the first one before anything had shipped.

Instead of a simple cancellation, I was told that they operate a no refund / no cancellation policy. They then offered only three “options”:

- Change the order variation
- Accept a refund minus $80 shipping and 5% fees (even though nothing had been dispatched)
- Proceed with the unwanted order

The tone of the emails was extremely blunt and unhelpful. I’ve never encountered such an inflexible and dismissive approach from a retailer.

Buyers should be aware that if you make a genuine mistake, this company will not work with you fairly — they will hide behind their “policies” and attempt to deduct large sums for orders that haven’t even shipped.

I cannot recommend this company and urge others to exercise caution before purchasing.

Hello Tae, sorry for the mismatch of expectations. Shipping is already 150USD for your coffee machine to you. We can't pay 150USD+250USD for return shipping= 400USD total because you changed your mind halfway.

We state no cancellation or returns on our website because we cannot absorb this 400USD fee for customers for free when your purchase amount is already 400USD. All customers agree to this. It is unfortunate you choose to drop us a 1 star review even when you received the best price online.

We will let users be the judge of this review. Sorry that we couldn't give you 400USD for free.

We are here to assist still for your afterservice- hello@df64coffee.com

Have a nice week ahead.- Anna.

Cannot fault the company or the…

Cannot fault the company or the product.

I ordered on a Thursday evening, it got to me Monday morning, that's 2 business days which is incredible for shipping to Ireland.

I received Extra taxes, customer support helped me within a day.

The grinder is working as it should. The price paid is €100 cheaper than anywhere else and I am writing this while enjoying my coffee.

I have not had any issues which is why I am giving 5 star.

Avoid at all costs

This company does not abide by UK law and will not honour the warranty they state on their website.
Please look at the website and see their terms of service, lack of information and other reviews before considering a purchase. Do not make the mistake I made.
One month after my DF64 Gen 2 grinder (purchased for over £300) arrived, the screw attaching one of the burrs fell out and was ground along with my coffee beans. It clearly had not been assembled correctly, constituting a manufacturing error. I had put less than 1kg of coffee through, and had never accessed the burrs myself, using the product straight out of the box. This has caused damage to the burrs and metal shavings are dispersed throughout the machine, meaning it is no longer food safe.
I sent an email immediately to the customer service department with pictures as evidence, and have had correspondence with them since. They are refusing to replace my machine or refund me. This is a clear breach of the UK consumer rights act 2015. They state I could have accessed the screws and loosened them myself so they have no obligation to replace the machine or refund me. They also state this is not a manufacturing error so doesn't come under warranty - although it clearly is a manufacturing error. They state a screw is a moveable part - a point which is only true when it's not screwed in right by the factory!
After many emails they did offer a replacement burr set and screw, which they said I'd need to pay $30 shipping fee for. Again, this breaches UK law as a customer should not have to pay for replacement under warranty.
I have explained this also does not resolve the issue of miniscule metal shards being dispersed throughout a machine that makes a product for human consumption, and all they have presented as a solution is that I vacuum it! The danger this would represent given the likelihood of some sharp, hazardous metal remaining in the machine does not seem to concern them.
I have informed them of the legal breaches with their actions and they have not changed their actions, instead inviting me to proceed down the route of small claims court.
I cannot find any public information to identify their CEO or anyone else I can escalate this to, and they do not escalate this issue within their organisation even after I asked multiple times.
Do not purchase from this website, you will regret it.

Addit following reply 4/8/25:
It is valid for a customer to expect a free replacement for a defective device under warranty when the defect is a result of a manufacturing defect. Your claim that the screws need to be tightened "from time to time" is irrelevant in a machine that is one month old. The machine is not usable and has been damaged as you know from the pictures I have sent as evidence. As I said in my initial review, there are shards of metal throughout the grinder.
I am glad anyone reading this review and the reply from the distributor is able to see firsthand the inconsistency from df64coffee.com and avoid making the mistake I made of using their services. They do not honour warranty and do not obey UK law.

Hello Jacob,

Your request of free 2 way return shipping + 1 free replacement grinder + another free shipping to you with taxes paid is not valid. If the burr screws need tightening over time, they should be tightened by the user, this is a part whereby any user has access to. E.g. Changing burrs, alignment and cleaning, user has the ability to adjust the screw tightness.

In your case, the burrs screws got loosened slightly somehow. (We will not finger point). The grinder is still in perfect working condition, and you only need to tighten the burr screw back into place and vacuum any grounds or dirt cause by the temporary stall.

Sorry that we fail to meet your expectations. We sell our grinders at a very good price and afterservice and warranty on circumstances that cover such as manufacturer defects or failure. We do not factor in margins into the price to pay for 3 way shipping and free replacements and free labour. If you want all the above, you should purchase locally from your local dealer at a higher price. We hope you can understand and we apologise for any mismatch of expectations. The price you paid was a fair and discounted price and we apologise you expect the same expectations as a local dealer's service. Thank you and have a nice week ahead Jacob. We are still contactable at hello@df64coffee.com for your queries.
