Qika Coffee DF64 Gen 2: Precision Grinding with 64mm Flat Burrs

In coffee, the burrs inside a grinder play a key role in grind quality, particle consistency, and ultimately the flavor in the cup.

The DF64 Gen 2, equipped with 64mm flat burrs, is designed to deliver precise, versatile grinding for any brew method.

Burr Types and Grind Quality

There are three main types of burrs: flat, conical, and ghost teeth. Flat burrs, like those in the DF64 Gen 2, produce a highly uniform grind by passing beans between two parallel discs. This design reduces fines (tiny particles that can lead to over-extraction) and keeps grind consistency high. With a 64mm diameter, the DF64 Gen 2's flat burrs grind quickly and maintain quality, ensuring balanced flavor extraction.

Particle Shape and Flavor Impact

The shape and size consistency of grounds are crucial in brewing. Flat burrs create a uniform grind, leading to an even extraction and a clean taste profile. This uniformity brings out balanced flavors and highlights the coffee's natural aromas. Consistent particle size also reduces the risk of bitterness from over-extraction.

Flat burrs are ideal for espresso and fine brew methods, though they adjust easily for coarser grinds. Conical burrs create a mix of particle sizes, adding body and richness, making them a go-to for pour-over and immersion brewing. Ghost teeth burrs, with their distinctive toothed design, grind at slower speeds, producing ultra-fine grounds perfect for Turkish coffee or espresso. Each type has its strengths, but flat burrs like those in theDF64 Gen 2 are known for clarity and consistency.

With stepless grind adjustment, the DF64 Gen 2covers a wide range of grind sizes, from espresso to drip, making it ideal for both home and Professional baristas. The flat burrs ensure balanced flavor and reliable performance.
