SK40

I've got an SK40 that I've had for a couple years, you can get an open box one for $140 or $150 right now https://www.turingrinders.com/products/open-box-turin%E2%84%A2-sk40%E2%84%A2-single-dose-stepless-grinder-1 It makes some excellent espresso grind for my Bambino Plus

Hibrew h10A is very solid entry machine ($219 in Amazon) and the Turin SK40 grinder ($200) not as easy to use in the beginning but once you understand it it’s an amazing grinder

Either a very good manual grinder \~$150 or a bottom tier electric single dose burr grinder. Kinda depends on how many coffees you’re making. I got a Turin sk40 and it worked really well for years while I saved up for a better option.

There aren't many electric grinders in your price range. The Turin SD40S and SK40 are narrower than the Encore, otherwise about the same size. The Femobook A2 is much smaller. That one is battery powered, but don't reject it out of hand; it reviews very well. The canonical svelte and cute electric grinder is the Lagom Mini, but that's outside your budget. There are excellent hand grinders in your price range that take up no counter space at all. There are also some more-or-less no-name Chinese electric grinders within your budget, but all are espresso-focussed as far as I know.

I agree with this OP and think that if you don't want the Mignon Zero, I'd go budget SK40. I actually still have my SK40 and feel like it's one of the easier grinders to dial in for espresso, and it makes a Great french press and cold brew. It's weakness are the very lighter roasts as many can get too sour with the SK40 at times. But I also think that you will love the Zero too
