r/espresso is scaring me away from df54 v4
so i thought i’d post it on here first before deciding. i deleted the post because i got a bit of bashing.
i don’t have a huge budget (maybe max £250). i have a bambino plus, and currently use kingrinder k6 but i’m doing it 4x a day maybe more when i have guest over and it’s really doing my head in and i’m scared of getting RSI. i know i can get the drill but that’s too much lol, i want the workflow of electric grinder.
i did research and people rate df54 higher for clarity as i like medium-light roast and that going encore pro, eureka 50 or upcoming opus 2 will muddy the flavour. i always drink it with oat milk.
i was thinking of buying them via bella barista or sigma coffee website. is this a good idea? i heard that the version 4 chute is now bigger inside. but i don’t do dark oily beans anyway.
thank you!
