"Eureka is a solid choice. I can’t imagine you going wrong with it."

"There is nothing about this grinder that I don't like."

DF

(30)
"Very silent, pretty and robust. I'm actually surprised the amount of grinder I got for the price."
"Df64-2"
"I love it, especially the single dosing capability"
"I think the DF54 beats them all."

"DF54"
"DF64 Gen 2 would not disappoint."
"Bought the df54, just life changing."

Niche

"I do love my Niche Zero."

"Looks like Niche Zero is the one I need."

DF64
4.2
(16)
"DF64 and maybe stretch your budget to include the high uniformity SSP burrs."
"I would strongly recommend spending a bit more for a DF64."
"Just got a DF64 and I'm very happy with it."
"When I was in the same situation I went with a DF64 Gen 2 flat burr single dose grinder..."
"Unless there's something you specifically want from a £3000 grinder, just get a df64V."
"I decided to go with the DF64 Gen2 with DLC burrs instead."
"Df64 with ssp burrs from df64coffee.com, you can easily find discount coupons for 10% off."
"Df64 and 54 I saw that it is now much less messier."
"I can’t tell you the best but I can tell you my DF64 v2 does not disappoint."
"The best-bang-for-a-buck flat burr single dose grinder is arguably DF64 Gen 2."

Mazzer
4.6
(10)
"If it's same price or there abouts it's Mazzer all day long."
"I love the older Mazzers - mini or super jolly since they last forever..."
"If size of grinder is not an issue, get a Mazzer."
"Mazzer philos :)"
"Definitively the Mazzer."
"Without a doubt the mazzer."
"For espresso, a used Mazzer tends to give the best value for money."
"If it were me, I'd be looking at the Mazzer Philos."
"Mazzer, it's a classic."
"I'd have a vario or sette over a Mazzer mini tbh."

"I have a 1Zpresso and absolutely love it."
"Get a 1zpresso hand grinder."
"Consider the flair 58 and a 1zpresso j-ultra."
"If you don’t mind hand grinding 1Zpresso J-Ultra is a strong position."
"Probably hand grinder, my JX-Pro can handle any beans for any brewing method."
"1ZPresso JX Pro/JE Plus or Kinu M47."
"For less than $200, it has to be a hand grinder. Check out 1zpresso JX Pro."
