"I love my 1zpresso."
"1Zpresso X Ultra, love it through and through!!"
"External adjustment makes my workflow much easier."
"Cannot really go wrong there, personally I'm a great fan of 1zpresso."
"1zpresso! Whichever model works for your criteria!"
"I have the 1zpresso x Ultra and love it."
"If you're okay with hand grinding, get the 1zpresso JX-Pro."
"Any 1zpresso grinder, honestly."
"Best possible budget hand / manual grinders then 1zpresso: J-max, J- Ultra, K - Ultra, X-Pro."

Baratza
4.5
(32)
"In automatic I would suggest you to go for baratza encore, it’s a workhorse and extremely hardy."
"The **Baratza Encore** is a highly recommended coffee grinder for pour-over brewing."
"The **Baratza Encore** is highly recommended for French press brewing."
"Baratza Encore."
"I'll mimic others, the Baratza Encore is great."
"Ditto the Baratza. My husband and I have owned a coffee company for 40 years."
"If you want something near to a BIFL grinder, it's Baratza."
"An ideal choice for you should be the Baratza Encore at $149.95."
"+1 Baratza Encore."
"Baratza Encore - It's a little bit more expensive than you listed."

Fellow
4.2
(10)
"I am a big fan of fellow ode grinders. They’re excellent and easy to maintain."
"Refurb gen 1 Ode"
"Pure filtered coffee"
"Perfect grinder for anyone who mostly brews filter coffee and or wants a grinder they can upgrade later"
"Amazon has the Fellows Opus on sale right now for $156."
"I use a fellow opus that I bought on eBay for $95. I really like it."
"The usual recommendations at the moment for either filter (Fellow Ode) or espresso (Varia VS3 among some others) would be above 300 pounds, so two grinders is probably also not the greatest idea."
"Relatively new, and came out in February"
"Okay-ish for Espresso & if you don't mind slightly muddy pourover"
"Okay-ish for Espresso & if you don't mind slightly muddy pourover"

Kingrinder
4.8

"I just got a kingrinder K6 and absolutely love it."
"I just pulled the trigger on the Kingrinder K6 - seems like they always have a $30 off coupon on amazon."
"I bought a Kingrinder K1 for $40, and it’s great."
"Get something from KINGrinders....their products hit way above their weight class."
"Supremely good build quality and easy to dial in for espresso"
"For $100-150 you want to look at hand grinders like the Kingrinder K6. I recently got one and love it. I think it makes espresso as good as my Eureka 4x the price."
"Well-regarded here"
"Solid option, with 48mm burrs and decent capacity"
#6
Eureka
4.5
(8)
"Eureka oro mignon xl."

Turin
4.8
(5)
"With those on the market, nothing cheaper is worth it."
"Look at a Turin SK40 stepless grinder. Espresso outlet dot com sells it for under $200."
"For $300-350 you unlock some of the “motorized hand grinders” which are small electric grinders meant for low volume. The Turin SK40 comes to mind."
"For single dose grinding"
"Electric grinder"
#9
Df64
4.4
(5)
"Df64v2 seems to get everything right. Almost no retention of coffee, quality flat grind."
"DF64. Your best bet, don't skimp on the other electric grinders."
