Does anyone have experience with these two grinders? I’ve narrowed my search down to these two but I’m very undecided. I know the 64 is the better grinder but I don’t know if it’s worth the extra $200 CAD.

I have the DF64 gen 2. It's geat. Prolly not worth the extra. I was about to buy DF54 but the DF64 was on sale for 350 or so, so I got it instead. My assessment at the time was that the DF54 was about twice slower. So a typical 18gr would go in 5-6s on the 64, while 10-12s on the 54. Ask away abt the 64.

    I’ve heard similar things about grind speed between the two.

    How’s the noise on the 64? I’ve heard the 54 is a bit quieter, which would be nice, especially for my 4:30am coffee, which is a big reason I want an electric grinder. Manually grinding beans that early in the morning isn’t as fun. But if the 64 isn’t too loud it’s less of a concern between the two.

    Louder than I’d like but not unreasonable if you put the little hat on while grinding.

    Do you think it would be loud enough to wake someone up on a different floor?

    Different floor no. Same floor a different room, maybe. Same floor same room, definitely. I sleep down the corridor, some drywall waway from the grinder. Can hear it in the morning if I'm not sleeping. Doens't wake me up when she' s making her coffee.
