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

If you value silence get a eureka mignon hands down. I have a mignon magnifico and a HeyCafé Jack Allround (Mahlkönig X64 kinda same Hemro parent company)
In Canada the grinder is on sale and it's 600$ canadian. Which is a little bit more than a df64 but I'll rather buy a HeyCafĂ© because of the reputation and quality. I also owned a HeyCafĂ© H1 2 years ago and I was super satisfied with it. I think original price is around 800 which in my opinion is a bit too expensive for what you get. I mostly do espresso and sometimes Turkish fine and the fact that the Jack can do Turkish fine without a hiccup, where other grinders are struggling to get fines for espresso. I buy, repair and sell stuff to keep my brain occupied đ. I currently have a La Pavoni Evoluzione and I'm selling it with the Eureka Mignon Magnifico. The thing is I always single dose so any type of grind by time or grind by weight is nothing of importance to me. Like I mentioned Eureka Mignon is by far the quietest grinder I have ever owned, maybe not the fastest or best aligned grinder, but if you need quietness in the morning that's is my 100% suggestion. I wish I was sponsored by HeyCafĂ© but I'm not, I really just like what they make and I would say it looks nicer than the Mahlkönig đ https://youtu.be/HPO1WxhOg4Y?si=nYiGLM-7iWLhzCJw
I'm using a Eureka Zero 55 with Eureka Black Diamond Espresso burrs and am making excellent coffee. My total investment was about $400, And I'm using a Turin legato V2 espresso machine that i got for $360. I'm really pleased with this setup that cost me around $760.
I recently got the pro as well. I seem to struggle with static even with dts. It's sticking to the chute and the machine. When I bellow, it seems to just throw dust everywhere. I also now grind directly into the portafiller as it seems to cling to the cup. Could be due to grinding too fine? Just one bag thru it so still trying to figure it out. What number are you grinding at? I'm at like 33
Some flat burr grinders have a conical flavor profile (Eureka Mignon 55mm) and some conical burr grinders have a flat burr flavor profile (Lagom Casa). The "general" rule doesn't always hold true.
Consider one of the Eureka Mignon grinders. They are flat burr, but (except for the new 65 AP burrs) they have the flavor profile of a conical burr grinder. When I used to own both a Niche Zero and a Eureka Specialita, the espresso brewed from both tasted nearly identical.
As Iâm sure youâve seen itâs about clarity vs body rather than flat vs conical. E.g. Eureka with espresso burrs or Philos with 189D will occupy the same space as the niche Having said that, Iâd suggest 064s with SSP MP or 078s with SSP, good high clarity flats
The Eurekas - especially the espresso burrs on em. Or Sette 270wi
