All of these will work for a Moka Pot. All of these will work with a less expensive espresso machine that brews pressurized like Stilosa. If you intend to eventually improve your espresso game by brewing non-pressurized, only P2 is (barely) capable of it. If it were me, I'd get Oxo, Bodum, or Capresso as they are well known good quality electric grinders, and plan to get a better grinder later should you get more serious about espresso.

The bodum but grinder (not blade) is excellent value and quite reliable, otherwise I love the varia

Probably going to get slated for this one... I bought this Bambino 2nd hand a few years ago that came with a Bodum grinder that I hacked with 3d printed conical burr holders to make it grind finer. This worked in a pinch but was never right every time and after 2 years it gave up completely. Coming up to my 40th my wife wanted me to start making her coffee again, she would have liked to have got me the DF54 but she couldn't stretch to it and bought this Aaobosi grinder. It's pretty decent TBF, grinds fine enough and it's consistent, there is a bit of retention but not enough to concern me. Battery powered is a bit weird and the suction feet are annoying if you move about it produces a decent grind and the coffee coming out of the Bambino is night and day Vs the Bodum. Good job wife! For a basic set up, at £75 I think this is a decent enough grinder if you are on a budget, but I'm no Hoffman....

You may not like to hear this, but the problem is very likely the cheapo grinder. When I got my bambino plus, I initially used my years-old Bodum on the finest setting. Sometimes I got something acceptable. Mostly, the consistency was just terrible. When I got the Sette 270, the leap was huge. That grinder is controversial in this sub, but it’s miles from a cheap grinder. Grind consistency is absolutely key and no technique will save you without a solid grind to start.

The Breville had the best ratings when I was doing my research, but I just couldn't justify the price tag. I went for the Bodum Bistro in the end and have been very happy with it. I like that it hold a good amount of beans and delivers the same amount at every press of the button. I also like the glass receptacle that doesn't build up static.

I have had that grinder for years and it's a big upgrade over a blade grinder.
