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

I use the wilfa uniform evo, coming from the previous uniform and uniform+ I think it's a solid upgrade considering the price. A lot more uniformity in the grinds. Certainly there are better grinders but the price is probably triple or double. Probably not a good choice outside of europe though.

Har en tidligere utgave av den selv, og denne nye har større fleksibilitet. Kan absolutt anbefale, men ta det etter behov.
Why is that? I've had the uniform and now the uniform Evo. Great grinders. How is the fellow better?

After a lot of research, I went with this https://clumsygoat.co.uk/products/wilfa-uniform-evo-coffee-grinder Wilfa customer service a bit slow to reply to my question about cleaning (manual barely has any info, and video guides refer to the non-evo version), otherwise very happy with it (Sage bambino plus portafilter is not compatible with the holder, but I just rest it down).
Wilfa Precision is good next step. There is a new Wilfa just out as well with even better burrs.
You are in a weird place with "way to expensive for medium grinder" but "not enough money for end-game". Wilfa make amazing pour over grinders. Fuji R220 as well. Anything flat burrs and larger size (up to 98mm) will give you good coffee. The bigger size - the better coffee. Try to get 2nd hand EK43 with good burrs, probably your best bet
Had a Sage (Breville) Precision Brewer paired with a Wilfa Uniform for 2 years. It made good coffee and had enough customization to enable you to dial stuff in, but in my experience, the lid design on the carafe is absolutely atrocious and you cannot fully drain it, leading to coffee crust and mold getting stuck in it and pouring away into your cup, leading to (obviously) foul tasting coffee. On top of that, the grinder's tread got seized so I sent them both back as they were still under warranty and upgraded to a Fellow Ode Gen 2 + Fellow Aiden, and the difference is night and day, they really do feel a decade apart. The recipes on the Aiden enable you to taste coffee as the roaster intended (for roasters that do provide shareable Aiden recipes) and the overall recipe customization is just more fine grained. Can't really speak for reliability as it's mostly plastic, but the cups coming out of it have so far been superb. If, however, you find all the customization tiresome and just want to hit a button and get coffee, I got my parents a Moccamaster and they've been delighted since, it's built like a truck where it matters, so you really can't go wrong with that.
All fun and games until you get the tread wrong/some coffee in it and it seizes shut with no way to fix it... ask me how I know!
