I just noticed your name. That's what my firefighter buddies call me! Lol! Anyway, I'm kind of a novice myself, and from what I've read the DF54 is a very good grinder. It was a good price point for me since I could not see myself paying $400 for a grinder. If price is no object, the df64 is supposed to be the better grinder.
Btw, i did find a site that has the df54 in stock- https://thekitchenbarista.com/col...e-grinders

What are some comparable models that I should compare this against. I checked the other two baristas and this has more pro features as expected. Also is fully automatic worth it and any in this price range?
I couldn't tell you about other models. Though if you're looking for no guess work and wanting an automatic or semi auto, there are other options like a Phillips machine for fully automatic. Some breville touch models introduce automatic tamping and self aerating steam wands.

This one will have mostly manual process of grinding the beans to the right size, maybe trying it 2 or 3 more times, then you have to make sure you're using consistently the same mass of grounds (i always just use 18g) but you get control of how long you want to infuse the water, then how long you want the shot to run, there are a few water temp settings, default and plus 2 clicks hotter and plus 2 clicks cooler. So there is definitely work involved with this, but it's meant to be something you try and adjust over time, changing 1 variable at a time. You get to play coffee scientist with accessibility.

You need to determine if you want to push button, bean grind brew coffee yum technological caveman style. Or if you want to sophisticated semi nerdy options.

is this better than Breville?
We can't answer that for you. In espresso brewing, you have you have to consider what kind of experience you're chasing. See my above response.

As much as love the control over all the parameters to tweak the right experience...my worry is I won't have that much time in the morning before leaving to work...so if it's an elaborate experiment every day that would be tough... I would need a easy solution for weekdays and weekends I can play around

I would say if you're pressed for time and looking for something automatic this machine is not for you as you need to grind beans, prep the puck before pulling the shot. If you add milk you would need to steam it too. It's not terribly long it does take time, there is a learning curve but well worth it if you have patience. A lot of YouTube videos.

I purchased one for $500 from Home Goods last December and I've really enjoyed it after some trial and error. Get some freshly roasted beans, be patient and you'll enjoy a great cup of coffee.

Exactly, go with your guy instincts. When I was remote solely for 4 years it was totally fine, since a job switch May24, and have a 30 minute commute majority of the week, I brew the shot the night before the mornings I want espresso. Because I just cannot afford 5-10 extra minutes before my job, the way I move about in life.

Ninja Luxe as someone had mentioned or maybe a Phillips style espresso maker will be better for you. I'll let others chime in, but also search the SD forums for those machines and read up.

Good luck, and enjoy!

If you make it night before won't it taste stale in the morning? Luxe seems interesting for sure.. Will check out.

It's not fresh for sure, but I seal it in a tiny tiny glass jar instantly and refrigerate it, and I pour it over ice, water and milk usually on the go. Still tastes MILES better than ANYTHING at the office like muddy maxwell house, keurigs, and people's personal nespressos.

I got the impress last week during target 40% deal. Best $500 I ever spent. Coming after trying so many machines and super automatics which they all produced garbage espresso. Difference is day and night

if it helps, you can use ground coffee in a double wall basket it comes with, and honestly, it's not half bad. I do this once in a while for decaf or other flavors. Saves a bit of measuring and grinding time.

Good deal. If you have a TJM near by worth the drive. Happen to be there with the mrs and found just one in stock $500 new in black (top of box has a small photo in corner of which is inside).

I'm all for you (or anyone) doing whatever works for you, so more power to you. That said, I would say it takes me about 2-3 minutes total to grind, level, tamp, pull a shot, add water for an Americano, then add creamer or whatever. And I'm almost always doing other things at the same time. Dialing in can certainly take time, but on a day to day basis, I don't feel like you could expect it to be much quicker or easier once everything is set up.

Sure, making a latte and steaming milk would add several more minutes, but I'm assuming someone primarily looking for speed isn't doing latte art before work.

My Philips fully automatic is the best appliance I've ever bought because I have ADHD and also hate mornings. I wake up, push 2 buttons, and espresso comes out. That's it.
