You say you go deep on new hobbies. I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point you want to get in to espresso. I was in the same boat with having no interest in espresso…then got a good deal on a used machine and had to buy a new grinder. I settled on Lagom Casa to handle pour over, espresso, and anything else. I’ve been happy with it for everything and would recommend it.
I recently picked up the Lagom Casa for pour over and espresso. It is conical burrs not flat, but is quite good. I found it a good middle ground for a one grinder solution that has a lot of nice to haves and not much compromise
I upgraded from an Encore to the Lagom Casa and have been very happy. I decided on it after being in a somewhat similar situation to what you describe. It’s significantly nicer than that Encore but still on the more adorable end of dual purpose grinders
Oops meant affordable but truthfully I was also looking for a grinder that was cleaner and I just hate the look of bellows on a grinder and hate doing bellows. No bellows on the Casa and it’s very clean so in that sense it is adorable
The Casa is much better for medium to light roast. The workflow is also better imo because of the auto off and no RDT. Niche zero is better for darker roast beans and fuller body. It comes down to what you prefer. Clarity or body
I’m happy with my Lagom Casa 65mm. It’s simple to change between the settings and I like how it performs with both specialty coffee pour over and my La Pavoni with more traditional espresso roast.
I would buy it again.
why are all your selections from amazon?
with the rampant bait and switch on that platform it’s the last place i’d order a coffee grinder from. I ordered a lagom casa earlier this year direct from manufacture and it was a great experience, even with some after purchase order adjustments.
bet it’s the same with any reputable brand grinder.
fuck amazon, you can do better. that said if your sponsoring the purchase with gift cards from well meaning relatives, I get it

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