"T64 grinder" doesn't point to one machine. Right now that search turns up a single-dose grinder sold as T64 and the Profitec Pro T64, which is an on-demand grinder. The names are close enough to trip you up. You might read two pages as versions of the same grinder when they're different products built for different routines.
Identify the brand and full model name first
The Lastaforest T64 listing describes a single-dose grinder. Profitec's Pro T64 documentation describes an on-demand grinder with a digital program. Treat their parts and specs as unrelated.
Before you open a review, jot down four things: brand, full model name, a product photo, and the version. Then confirm the review shows that same machine. A video titled "T64 grinder review" may cover the other brand entirely.
Compare the workflow you will actually use
Single dosing starts at the scale. You weigh beans for each drink, say 18 g. Pay attention to how much coffee stays inside, how the grounds cup handles, and what happens when you grind a second, different coffee right after. This grinder retention test shows how to check that with a scale.
On-demand grinding runs from a hopper on a timer. Look at how easy the adjustment is to reach and how you'd swap coffees mid-bag.
Neither style is automatically more accurate. A fair test uses the same beans, dose, machine, and yield. And one reviewer's tasting notes don't carry over to every grinder named T64.
Five checks before you buy any T64 grinder
Start with the variant. Speed, burr, color, or plug options can sit behind one headline, so read the one you've actually selected. Then run through these:
- Power. North American outlets run at 120 V. Confirm the voltage and plug on the seller's listing and in the manual.
- Adjustment. A step count or a "stepless" label won't tell you how fussy dialing in feels. Check how fine moves are made and whether the range covers your brew method.
- Space. Measure with the hopper or bellows on and a portafilter or cup in place. Standard upper cabinets often sit about 18 inches above the counter, so tall grinders can collide.
- Support. Check the warranty, replacement burr supply, and who services it where you live.
Still deciding between hand and motor? The manual vs electric grinder comparison sorts that out quickly.
