I'm really interested in the DF54, but it's pretty apparent that the "Turin" branding is just reseller (Espesso Outlet) labeling, to try to make it sound vaguely Italian (which is silly, it would at least be called "Torino" if that was really the case). You can find plenty of DF40, DF64 on aliexpress, under various branding.
The support related reviews for the Turin brand on their own site (Espresso Outlet) are abyssmal. Some of them sound like a case of not knowing how to calibrate/etc, but equally… why wouldn't even just the reseller at least be able to manage telling people how to do that? There's videos on aliexpress about it for the df40, for instance. That's… scary bad levels of support. Multiple reviews claim the ionizer doesn't work at all. Some of the aliexpress vendors for df line grinders say you might get one unit or the other depending on stock, and makes you wonder if people are even getting what's claimed with these US df resellers.
So yeah… personally I'd wait out the DF stuff for a bit longer and see how it pans out. There's already another US reseller for the DF54. Then probably just order directly from China once it's available through one of the big aliexpress sellers. Meanwhile this deal here is a great price for a Baratza ESP. If I didn't already have two Encores with one modded, I'd probably just snag one now. I'm still tempted lol. Must… resist D:

Oops, sold out. It will probably be back at this price in the future. Or go for a refurb virtuoso +, which is amazing.

EDIT: I have the original one, not the ESP.
It was a little bit of a pain to replace even with all the instruction videos online, and I'm not 100 percent sure I did it correctly because it makes a high-pitched whine that makes me think I didn't tighten something or missed a washer somewhere, but it is a lot faster and the grind is a lot more consistent. I use it for drip, press, and cold brew plus the occasional espresso so it gets a lot of work across the range of settings.
I think Baratza Encore ESP looks kinda cheap because it is all plastic, but the reviews say it can produce espresso and filter coffee. also they are well know for great customer service and easy to repair.
