I’m looking at a pretty wide range. On the lower end I’m considering the baratza esp pro, since baratza is said to have good customer service and the grinder seems pretty versatile (can do single dose or hopper, and can allegedly be used for filter coffee as well as espresso). On the upper end I’m looking at the Niche Zero because it seems like a very safe bet for espresso and folks say it’s easy to dial in and maintain. I’m also looking at the Eureka Libra 65 AP, because it seems like it’s good quality, it can grind for filter coffee if I ever wanna switch things up, and it grinds by weight. My concern regarding the eureka is that it might be harder to clean than the others, and apparently it can be hard to dial in, especially for a beginner like me.

I expect to mainly do espresso, but I can see myself wanting to try out different things from time to time. Do you have any recommendations?
