Multiple Brands (Turin, MiiCoffee, DF etc) - DF64 Gen 2

As another commenter mentioned, hand grinding is totally fine... until you set it for espresso. We love our 1Zpresso JX Pro for pour over and other brewing styles, but found it cumbersome and annoying for espresso. As your budget allows for it, I'd definitely recommend getting an electric grinder. If you're interested in single dose grinding, you could look at the [DF64 Gen 2](https://espressooutlet.com/products/turin-df64-gen-2-single-dose-coffee-grinder) as it is well within your budget and arguably the best at that price point. You could also consider the Niche Zero as it is super simple to use, very well made, and extremely popular. Cheers!

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.

This will be an interesting answer, I've literally just had a DF64 G2 delivered. I got the SSP cast burrs. I think the Intamills have a more espresso profile with more body and less clarity

Italmill, Intamin, sorry I can't remember the brand name. It's the Italian burr manufacturer who supplies the stock DF64. I definitely think they're intended for espresso. (I think Intamin is an engineering firm that makes rollercoasters...) So far I've made one filter with the grinder and I'm very happy. It's not regrinding anything so there are no ultrafines, which fixes the problem my last grinder had!
