The catch
MiiCoffee DF64 II Single Dose Coffee Grinder
When your recipes are far apart, a stepless dial means keeping notes or marking positions.
Side by side
MiiCoffee DF64 II vs TIMEMORE Sculptor 064S: 064S has speed control, DF64 II has one fewer setting to manage
Quick verdict
If you want to dial in grind size without managing motor speed as well, choose the DF64 II. For variable speed and a rotary knocker, choose the Sculptor 064S. Both have 64 mm flat burrs and stepless grind adjustment, so the decision mostly comes down to your routine.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
The upgrade buys control and keeps the same diameter
With 64 mm burrs in both grinders, pay for the speed dial only if you expect to use it.
Where this comes from
The product specifications for both list 64 mm flat burrs. For the DF64 II, a fixed 1400 rpm is listed.
The catch
TIMEMORE Sculptor 064S
Its standard hopper holds around 30 g, which means refilling for larger filter batches.

Which one fits
Pick the situations that sound like you
Managing fewer variables is what I want
Motor speed is fixed on the DF64 II, so grind size is the main adjustment. The 064S brings a speed control that you can ignore or experiment with.
- MiiCoffee DF64 II Single Dose Coffee Grinder
- Better fit
- TIMEMORE Sculptor 064S
- Good
I want room to experiment with motor speed
Variable speed is available on the 064S. The DF64 II has no user-adjustable motor-speed setting.
- MiiCoffee DF64 II Single Dose Coffee Grinder
- Not suitable
- TIMEMORE Sculptor 064S
- Better fit
A knocker beats bellows for me
The rotary knocker on the Sculptor clears the chute, with no need for the DF64 II's bellows routine.

- Depends
- TIMEMORE Sculptor 064S
- Better fit
My basket is 54 mm
According to TIMEMORE, its roughly 57 mm catch cup is meant for 58 mm baskets. Whichever grinder you pick, a 54 mm basket calls for a different transfer method.

In practice
Differences you will notice
The upgrade buys control and keeps the same diameter
With 64 mm burrs in both grinders, pay for the speed dial only if you expect to use it.
How we worked this out
The product specifications for both list 64 mm flat burrs. For the DF64 II, a fixed 1400 rpm is listed.
The Sculptor needs a refill for 36 g
The 064S standard hopper is exceeded by two 18 g portions.
How we worked this out
18 × 2 = 36 g, set against TIMEMORE's stock hopper of approximately 30 g.
Variable speed is not a prerequisite for stepless adjustment
At its fixed motor speed, the DF64 II still allows small espresso grind changes.
How we worked this out
Stepless adjustment is specified by MiiCoffee separately from its 1400 rpm motor.

Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | MiiCoffee DF64 II Single Dose Coffee Grinder | TIMEMORE Sculptor 064S | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burr diameter | 64 mm | 64 mm | Moving from one to the other brings no burr-size upgrade. |
| Motor speed | Fixed 1400 rpm | Variable speed | More control comes with the 064S, plus one more setting to keep consistent. |
| Grind adjustment | Stepless | Stepless | Small espresso changes are possible on both, with no fixed click dictating the next step. |
| Chute clearing | Bellows with ionizer | Rotary knocker | Both target a single-dose routine, yet the cleanup actions are not the same. |
| Portafilter transfer | Catch-cup workflow | About 57 mm cup for 58 mm baskets | With the stock Sculptor cup, a 54 mm machine calls for a transfer plan. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With MiiCoffee DF64 II Single Dose Coffee Grinder
- Each dose ends with a deliberate extra step, using the bellows.
With TIMEMORE Sculptor 064S
- The catch cup in the box is meant for 58 mm baskets and does not fit 54 mm ones directly.
Decision guide
How to decide
Pick the DF64 II to dial in grind size without managing motor speed too. Pick the Sculptor 064S for variable speed and a rotary knocker. With 64 mm flat burrs and stepless grind adjustment on both, the decision is mostly about your routine.
Ask how much tinkering you tolerate first
On the DF64 II, speed stays constant while you change the grind, which helps when you want one repeatable recipe. The 064S has more appeal if experimenting is part of why you are buying.
Adjustment is not automation
Neither grinder weighs the finished dose. The Sculptor's one-minute auto-off is a time limit, which leaves a job for a scale and a deliberate single-dose routine.
Map out the countertop sequence
Picture the steps of weighing beans, loading them, grinding and clearing the chute. Picking the sequence you find comfortable does more for you than expecting equal-size burrs to produce identical coffee.
What this page can’t tell you
- The specifications cover the listed version only. They say nothing about a taste ranking or about retention measured in your kitchen.
- Before you buy, check the exact model, the seller, the accessories included and, where it applies, the US electrical version.
