Conical Burr Coffee Grinder for Espresso with Precision Timer

I have the model with the SS cup, 51 settings. It has a bellows to blow out dust (not much) and the antistatic feature seems to work well. I was able to dial it in (local beans), not really tempted to upgrade. Precise dosing (I no longer weigh them). Can get fine enough to choke my bottomless basket, #3 hits the spot. The portafilter cradle holds a funnel too, autogrinds when you insert the portafilter. Super convenient. https://www.amazon.com/SHARDOR-Precision-Electronic-Adjustable-Stainless/dp/B0DRVDN15C

We use the Shardor 51. I really like it and it's for 79.99 in Amazon.  But it only has about 8 steps that are in the espresso range.   SHARDOR Conical Burr Espresso Coffee Grinder Electric with Precision Timer 2.0, Touchscreen Adjustable Burr Mill with 51 Precise Settings for Home Use, Anti-static, Stainless Steel https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D8XY968Z

I love my shador grinder, I believe you can get the v1 for under 200. I believe you will be happy with either. I used a jmax hand grinder for several years before “upgrading.” It is very sweet and easy to use/clean.

I got the Shardor 52 step with he PF holder, $160 CAD or so, prime day $130. It was... Fine. Made some good shots with bad beans, so I know it can only get better. And suddenly it seems to have slowed down grinding, and grinds aren't ejecting they way they used to. I have to pump the damn bellows the entire time or the whole thing jams up. Open it up, clean and inspect. Hopper bypass to check motion, everything is turning, don:?'t know what the hell. It used to have some retention issues, couple .1s here and there until the nooks and crannies are filled, but suddenly it's like... 3 gram retention unless I beat the snot out of it. And I'm like 3 days past the Amazon return window, so fuck me. Still waiting on Hong Kong customer support but I don't have high hopes. Knowing what I know now I would probably spend a bit more money. Df54 at $300+ is just too much for me to swallow though.

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
