E55 Electric Coffee Grinder

Keep the breville bambino and buy something like a Starseeker e55 pro. Usually can get them around $2-300 on aliexpress. Separate grinder is always a good idea.

When my Encore ESP died, I got a Starseeker E55 Pro for ~$200 something (I'm not from the US) on ali express. Having used it for a few months, I can say I'm pretty impressed with the quality. It's considerably better than the Baratza, better build quality, grinds faster, less noise, less retention, less fines. I wish it had auto turn off, but it's my only complaint and not something that bothers me that much. Overall, I highly recommend it, specially at this price point.

If you only make milk drinks, IMHO you don't need a fancy grinder. There are good ones below 400 today like the Shardor 64 mm or Starseeker E55 Pro. The Eureka Zero is more than sufficient and it was great for espressos, I had one between 2023 and 2025.

you would need both Cornical and Flat eventually, bot nothing can be compared to E55Pro-

I just got a starseeker e55 pro and it’s been nice. Grinds are very consistent and fluffy. With RDT it has basically zero retention. Also very quiet.

I’ve had one for a couple months. It’s been great. Dark and medium roasts only so far but no complaints. Cleaned out thoroughly after the first while and had like .5g total built up inside, which is nothing.

I have been using the Starseeker E55Pro for a few months without issue. It’s a great little grinder and with RDT has nearly zero retention.
