DF64 Gen 2

Ive had one for a year, and like mine enough. Theres a little more work in the upkeep (frequently cleaning the chute) but it works well for a wife spectrum brew teks

I would say it's the best for the price.

This, OP, is what you should focus on. There's options that are more " well rounded," but as u/woozie69420 said, you'll never get the best from specific roasts with those burr sets/grinders. Think of it like using a multitool to unscrew a screw. It's possible, but an actual screwdriver is almost always better. If you like a variety of roasts, brew methods, origins, processes, etc... you should look into something with interchangeable burrs, and choose a burr size you find appropriate for your cost range (honestly, this is the best advice I can give you on burr size) and go from there. The 078S woozie mentioned is a great option, as is their 064S, but there are plenty of other options. I personally just purchased a df64 gen 2.3 for similar reasons to yours.

You’ll get a bunch of recommendations for Baratza however Baratza is now owned by Breville. That makes it an immediate non-starter in my house. Plus, so plasticky. I bought myself a df64 gen 2 that I love. Coming from a Breville Smart Grinder Pro (which was a gift), the difference was massive. I mostly drink espresso so a precise grinder is critical and the df64 never disappoints. I also use it for other types of coffee sometimes, it adjusts easily.

I really like my df64 with my GCP. It replaced a gifted Breville SGP and the improvement was not subtle.

I'd get my exact setup! Profitec Go and DF64 gen 2

Agreed. I've got literally zero complaints

I'll 3rd the DF64. I love mine!

Exactly! I have ordered a DF64 Gen 2 for espresso (I have yet to pick a machine). Had a bad experience with a Breville Barista touch after the grinder burned out after one month. I have been doing pourover with Chemex and V60 and plan to continue using my K-Ultra hand grinder for that.

Give it to you straight? No, you can't. Stretch your budget to about 28k (19k for DF64 gen 2 + 9k for SSP MP burrs or another burr upgrade) for a good pourover grinder. Maybe the Timemore Sculptor grinders can be cheaper.
