You can do better for 200 .. I own it and absolutely hate it
The retention is bad . I’m surprised mine still works from beating the shit out of it
Look for a baratza encore esp
If you just want one, get a decent coffee burr that can do fine & coarse. Might cost more but you won’t hate your first latte or espresso. If I had to pick: Baratza Encore or Breville Smart Grinder Pro.
I recently got one of these, and it's hands down the best grinder I've ever had or even seen. You can fully disassemble them, very well built, pretty quiet.
I have Bambino and this smart grinder pro. Been using it daily for years and no issue. Disassemble is straightforward and easy to clean. They also match in design and color.
I used a Smart Grinder Pro with my Breville Infuser for years ... and it pulled fantastic shots of light roast. You can find one used for $100 or less.
This and a Bambino Plus are a perfect duo, because If I’m not doing espresso, I can grind into the container for French press or aeropress instead. The all in one machines with built-in grinders don’t give you that kind of flexibility.

Great value for espresso, but clogs and poor for pour-over.
