Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | MiiCoffee DF64 II Single Dose Coffee Grinder | MiiCoffee DF83 Gen 2 Single Dose Coffee Grinder | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burr | 64 mm flat | 83 mm flat | Choose working parts that suit your material and your task. A component's name is no proof of a better result. |
| Motor | 250 watts | 550 watts | It names the hardware or mechanism that does the work. A label by itself does not prove faster or better results. |
| Carrier | 64 mm platform | Four-spring 83 mm carrier | For carrier, this matters if you will lift it, move it, take it somewhere or put it away after each use. |
| Weight | Easier to move | About 24 pounds | For weight, this matters if you will lift it, move it, take it somewhere or put it away after each use. |
