SSP Cast Lab Sweet 64mm Flat Burrs

I have been using a DF64V for the past few months, which I purchased from Mii Coffee also, with the stock DLC burrs. These burrs are fine if you are an average coffee drinker who mostly drinks medium or darker roasted coffee and milk drinks. Recently, I transitioned to light roast coffee and my demand for more complex flavors increased. This also required me to upgrade my burrs set to acquire more tasting notes. I researched and narrowed it down to 2 options: SSP MP burrs and SSP Lab Sweet Cast. From what I understand, the MP burrs offer much more clarity in the cup, while the HU has more complexity and more body (classic espresso profile). I wanted something in between, and that's what the Lab Sweet is, so I decided to purchase it. Comparing the Lab Sweet to the stock DLC coating burrs, the Lab Sweet gives me way more clarity but doesn't tame the body as much as the MP would (according to my research). And, as the name suggests, it gives the cup a whole lot more sweetness, very pleasant to drink. If you're looking to upgrade your burrs and want something in-between of the SSP MP and HU, this is the burrs for you. Please keep in mind, this is the first espresso I've pulled with these burrs, so they are not well-seasoned yet. But right off the bat, the burrs are already giving me an amazing experience in taste. Therefore, you can take what you've just read with a grain of salt. If you already own another set of SSP, you may want to consider if switching to these burrs are worth the money and effort as I don't think they'll provide you with a much different tasting cup. But going from the stock DLC burrs, this is well-worth the money.

As far as installation goes, it is very straightforward, but it does require alignment, just like most burr and grinder combinations out there. Deep cleaning, installation, and alignment took me 1.5 hours. You can look up the process on YouTube. If you do not want to do it yourself, Mii Coffee offers the installation and alignment service for an additional $20, which is worth the money in my opinion.

Lastly, Mii Coffee shipped these burrs out 4 minutes after I put in the order. My order was placed at 10:40 am, and I received the notification that my order was shipped at 10:44 am. This is sweatshop speed shipping, so thank you for the awesome service!

These properly fit my Turin DF64Gen2 (Mazzer style dimensions). They’re a bit thicker than the OEM DLC Espresso burrs, so the zero point changed. Alignment was not difficult. I seasoned these burrs with 5kg (11 pounds) of medium roast on the filter setting. We are now using this grinder exclusively for pour overs, and the consensus is that the coffee taste has stepped up a notch (from good to very good) compared to the OEM burrs.

MiiCoffee went above and beyond to help me when my order was lost by UPS. I highly recommend this website. The burrs perform very well. Balanced flavor clarity with increased sweetness. Exactly what I was looking for in my espresso.

Switched from MP burrs and the body and juice is back. Great set of burrs, highly recommend.

Leg me start by saying I'm not a coffee expert by any stretch of the word. It took me a while to align the burrs, another while to set the zero point on my DF64E, and yet some more time getting the grind size right for the recipe (14 grs, 2:1 ratio, 28 seconds), but when I did, I got the best coffee I've had at home, and it even rivaled many coffee shops I've tried.

Now to the burrs themselves, they seem really high quality, solely built, very precise milling. The ony blemish is a tiny gauge in one of the cast slots in the rotary burr, but I can't see that affecting the end result in any noticeable way, at least not on my level. The coffee coming out of them is very nuanced, with great body, not bitter in a bad way, not sour, may I say a bit sweet even? This may be confirmation bias, sure, and of course it depends on the coffee (I've only tried 2 varieties) but it tastes and feels really nice. Still a long way until I get good at this craft, but I'm enjoying it.

MiiCoffee's service was also top-notch.
