The DF64 Gen 2 is a single dose flat burr grinder for home brewers who weigh their beans and want one grinder for every method, from espresso to French press. Its appeal lies in a heavy, metal-bodied design with a removable grind chamber and burrs, which makes deep cleaning far easier than on grinders where the burrs are hard to reach.

Our take
What the listing actually tells you
The official store listing for the Gen 2 is brief. It confirms flat burrs, a single dose design, adjustable grind settings that run from espresso to French press, a powerful motor described as low noise and a removable grind chamber. The spec table adds 250 watts of power, a 2025 manufacture year and metal and stainless steel construction.
It does not give the burr diameter, the type of adjustment (stepped or stepless), retention figures or what accessories come in the box. Those are the details enthusiasts usually compare, so check the brand's own documentation before buying.
Single dosing in practice
A single dose grinder is designed for weighing out the beans for one brew, grinding them all, then starting fresh for the next. That keeps beans sealed in their bag, makes switching between coffees easy and avoids stale beans sitting in a hopper.
The spec table gives a capacity of 0.25 kg, which seems large for a single dose chamber, so it may refer to an optional hopper or simply be a listing quirk. Treat it with caution.
Size and weight
At 8.5 kg, this is the heaviest grinder in its group. The listed dimensions are 20 cm long, 20 cm wide and 36 cm high, so check the height under wall cupboards. The weight helps it stay put on the counter, though it is not a grinder to move around often.
Cleaning access
Removable burrs and grind chamber are the practical highlight. Flat burr grinders build up oils and fines over time, and being able to lift the burrs out for a brush clean keeps flavour consistent. The listing does not mention a bellows or other retention aid.
Against the Fellow Ode and Encore ESP Pro
The Fellow Ode also uses flat burrs, 64 mm in its case, with auto stop and an 80 g hopper, but it is aimed at filter. The Baratza Encore ESP Pro offers stepless adjustment, single dose and timer modes, and a 300 g hopper, with clearly stated specs. The DF64 Gen 2 is the choice for flat burr single dosing across espresso and filter if you are comfortable with a thin listing.
Verdict
Buy the DF64 Gen 2 if you single dose, want flat burrs that can handle espresso as well as filter, and value easy burr access for cleaning. If you want fully stated specs and a hopper, the Baratza Encore ESP Pro is the safer purchase, and if filter is your only method, the Fellow Ode is a focused alternative.
