[OXO brew conical burr grinder](https://a.co/d/3W187rZ)
$110 you want a conical burr grander. It’s a more consistent grind. And this one produces a consistent amount
Listen to everyone. **DO NOT GET AN OXO** It was my 1st grinder. Would not grind fine enough for espresso.
Opus grinds fine & consistent -but makes a big mess & you have to constantly spank it.
Consider the DF54.
I got the same setup over Christmas! I am currently using the oxo grinder for espresso and will probably upgrade to the Fellow Opus or the DF54 (seems to be a popular pick for beginners) when I can justify the cost.
For my oxo grinder:
Use the freshest beans (I like Rise Up's Organic Espresso)
I weigh out 17g beans
Mist with water (2 or 3 sprays)
Pour into oxo grinder, it's set to 1 and I grind around 20 seconds
I run one cycle on my breville before I start my espresso (just water)
I use a bottomless Portafiler
Fill Portafiler, use a little distributor tool and tap to level everything
Press the tamper with some weight
I also do a manual pour and time it around 20-25 seconds for a double.
I'm getting decent pours and it's working for me right now. I'm aware it could be better and one day it will be :)

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