DF54 Series
Great value for espresso, but clogs and poor for pour-over.

I use two grinders. I use a DF54 exclusively for espresso, and my Shardor antistatic 48 settings conical burr grinder for everything else. It's a pretty good grinder for drip, pour overs, and french press, but I won't use it for espresso, since grinding for espresso is unforgiving and the Shardor grinder just isn't as consistent for that as the DF54.
Yes the breville is worth it. The Philipps grinder isn't worth using. It's my nonprofessional option that you'll be much better served with the shardor and the breville. It's basically an endgame budget set-up
I liked my shardor, but I had a deep and narrow (40mm) basket (a Flair Neo Flex) that allows for a coarser grind size. There’s a chance it wouldn’t grind fine enough for a standard, non-pressurized basket.
I have the Shardor flat burr and conical burr grinders. The conical one can make espresso but at settings of 0-3. It's not something I'd choose specifically for espressos but if you're at a bind it can do the job.
I was gonna spend £400 on a fancy machine but then ordered a SHARDOR Conical Burr grinder for £65 on amazon and It’s been great.
I got the Shardor for my espresso machine, but it couldn't grind fine enough for the espresso. That's why I got the DF54 and am happy with it. I think the ProCook will be as bad/good as the Shardor. Don't skimp on the mill, otherwise you'll buy twice or you won't be happy with it.
