Eureka - Atom W 65

On the bar is a Eureka A65 that is dialed in for espresso. Don't want to mess with that. It is dedicated to espresso. Next to it is a Niche Zero that handles pour overs, AeroPress, and the ocassional request for decaf espresso. It's marvelous. I also have a Mahlkonig K35 that I need to get dialed in or it needs to get off the bar. It has not been very cooperative so far! And I have a hand grinder for travel.

Most of the recommendation you have received so far are wrong, because their authors erroneously assume that you are "one of us", while you are clearly a normie. You don't need a single-dose grinder; instead, you need a grinder with a hopper and a GbW (**Grind by Weight**) function. Similarly, it is crucial, that your espresso machine is very automated. It must have automatic pre-infusion, and **volumetric** dosing. You don't need manual flow control, etc. \--- For example, espresso machines: Victoria Arduino Eagle One Prima, Sanremo YOU grinders: Mahlkönig E65S GbW, Eureka Atom W 65

I use a Eureka Atom. I bought it because of it's decently sized hopper, stepless infinite grind adjustment, noise reduction features, automatic grind timer, and of course, Eureka's reputation for making quality machines. I paid around $1000 for it if I remember correctly.

Your budget is fine. You can easily get a good grinder that will do both, which generally means grind fine enough for espresso as that is the more demanding. Most people prefer, for multiple types of coffee making (esp. pour over and espresso), flat burrs. Just a preference thing, conical burrs can still work well with pour-over, it is just that classical people look for greater clarity with pour-over. The best answer is two grinders, one conical and one flat, but that is luxury, however, given how good and inexpensive conical hand grinders are now, that can make for a best of both worlds solution. One key question is if you want to single-dose or hopper feed. The workflow is different with pros and cons of either way. It is just a preference thing. Most people on this sub seem to be single-dosing (inc. me), just be aware that may not be what you prefer. If it was me, I would get a good budget flat electric grinder like the Turin DF54 or the Fellow, and a conical hand-grinder (a Kingrinder, Timemore or 1zpresso). If I wanted to favour espresso and only do pour-over occasionally, I would look at a grinder like the Option O Casa. Finally, if you want to go with a hopper grinder, the Eurekas models are worth looking at. As a small tip - pay attention to the noise level of the electric grinder, if you are noise sensitive. Some of them can be annoyingly loud. Hope it makes sense and helps.

1zpresso J-Ultra was the first one (a gift). Eureka Atom W 65 now (also a gift). I had been dreaming of something with a hopper and GBW when I received it. Single dosing into jars for at least three drinks a day got old quick. I’m not a very particular espresso drinker and only make milk drinks but I love how fast and quiet it is FWIW.

Eureka atom w 65. Grind by weight, increases my workflow speed. A little spendy
