Head-to-head
MiiCoffee DF64 II vs TIMEMORE Sculptor 064S: 064S adds speed control, DF64 II leaves one less setting to manage
The short answer
Choose the DF64 II if you want to dial in grind size without also managing motor speed. Choose the Sculptor 064S for variable speed and a rotary knocker. Both use 64 mm flat burrs and stepless grind adjustment, so the decision is mostly about your routine.

Winner by situation
Start with what you need it to do
I want fewer variables to manage
The DF64 II has fixed motor speed, leaving grind size as the main adjustment. The 064S adds a speed control you can leave alone or experiment with.
- MiiCoffee DF64 II Single Dose Coffee Grinder
- Better fit
- TIMEMORE Sculptor 064S
- Good
I want to experiment with motor speed
The 064S provides variable speed. The DF64 II does not provide a user-adjustable motor-speed setting.
- MiiCoffee DF64 II Single Dose Coffee Grinder
- Not suitable
- TIMEMORE Sculptor 064S
- Better fit
I prefer a knocker to bellows
The Sculptor's rotary knocker clears the chute without the DF64 II's bellows routine.
- MiiCoffee DF64 II Single Dose Coffee Grinder
- Depends
- TIMEMORE Sculptor 064S
- Better fit
I use a 54 mm basket
TIMEMORE says its roughly 57 mm catch cup is intended for 58 mm baskets. A 54 mm basket needs a different transfer method, whichever grinder you choose.

What matters in practice
The differences that matter
The upgrade is control, not diameter
Both grinders use 64 mm burrs, so buy the speed dial only if you expect to use it.
How we reached this conclusion
Both product specifications list 64 mm flat burrs. The DF64 II lists fixed 1400 rpm.
A 36 g brew needs a Sculptor refill
Two 18 g portions exceed the 064S standard hopper.
How we reached this conclusion
18 × 2 = 36 g, compared with TIMEMORE's approximately 30 g stock hopper.
Stepless adjustment does not require variable speed
The DF64 II can still make small espresso grind changes at its fixed motor speed.
How we reached this conclusion
MiiCoffee specifies stepless adjustment independently of its 1400 rpm motor.

Meaningful differences
What changes the fit
| What changes | MiiCoffee DF64 II Single Dose Coffee Grinder | TIMEMORE Sculptor 064S | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burr diameter | 64 mm | 64 mm | There is no burr-size upgrade between these two. |
| Motor speed | Fixed 1400 rpm | Variable speed | The 064S adds control, along with another setting to keep consistent. |
| Grind adjustment | Stepless | Stepless | Both allow small espresso changes without a fixed click forcing the next step. |
| Chute clearing | Bellows with ionizer | Rotary knocker | The cleanup actions differ even though both target a single-dose routine. |
| Portafilter transfer | Catch-cup workflow | About 57 mm cup for 58 mm baskets | A 54 mm machine needs a transfer plan with the stock Sculptor cup. |
What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose MiiCoffee DF64 II Single Dose Coffee Grinder
- The bellows adds a deliberate final step to each dose.
If you choose TIMEMORE Sculptor 064S
- The supplied catch cup is intended for 58 mm baskets, not a direct 54 mm fit.
What matters in practice
How to make the call
Start with your tolerance for tinkering
The DF64 II lets you keep speed constant while changing the grind. That is useful when you want one repeatable recipe. The 064S appeals when experimenting is part of the reason for buying.
Separate adjustment from automation
Neither grinder weighs the finished dose for you. The Sculptor's one-minute auto-off is a time limit, so a scale and a deliberate single-dose routine still have a job.
Plan the countertop sequence
Imagine weighing beans, loading them, grinding and clearing the chute. Choosing the sequence you find comfortable is more useful than expecting equal-size burrs to produce identical coffee.
What this comparison cannot tell you
- Specifications describe the listed version. They do not establish a taste ranking or measured retention in your kitchen.
- Check the exact model, US electrical version where applicable, seller and included accessories before buying.
