if your not that advanced I would recommend an EG-1 , once you become advanced purchase the EG-2

We have an EG1 and both the core and ultra burrs. The burr changing is easy but annoying when you want to drink different coffees during the day (I WFH). So right now it’s got the core burrs in for espresso and I use a C40 for pour over. However, we placed a deposit for a Flat Max so that it becomes our dedicated espresso grinder and the EG1 for pour over with ULF.

I drink mostly clean washed ultra light coffees. There is no need to save up and get a more expensive grinder than an M01. A well dialed M01 cup is extremely close to as good as my $4.6k EG-1 or $3k Lagom 01. In fact at that same coffee meetup, there was a Lagom 01 with 102 SSP brew burrs and someone broke out a $600/lb coffee and asked to use the M01 to brew it for the group instead of the Lagom 01. The coffee on the M01 was sensational. Buy an expensive electric grinder because you either want a very specific profile (which you’d only know by tasting it) or because you just want a really cool, well made power tool. Don’t buy it expecting materially better coffee.

I have a Zerno z1 and a Weber eg1 but only because I’m an idiot

For pour overs my 1zpresso is used more often than my Webber EG-1. For espresso it's way to tiresome and definitely need to go electric.
