We had an old sunbeam crema and breville BCG450 grinder which paired well. However after 2 years of use the crema died and was declared unfixable by the service agent. We used rewards point galore and updated to the sunbeam EM7000 (and 20% off).
We had trouble making anything until I read on these forums that the BCG450 is just not up to the task for 'mid range' makers. I was tempted to mod the grinder BUT upon notifying the wife that i would need more tools to take it apart (a new screwdriver in fact) I got a sigh and was asked to look into getting a new one that would be up to the task.
So for a budget of around $500 what would be a good grinder to recommend? such that we a grind consistency that the EM7000 will put in the sweet spot for a pull. We are not tied to any brandname either. We really prefer grinding our own rather than having the shop do it - whose grind works perfectly by the way. Note: I did ask at the shop but the cheapest grinder they do is around $700
Cheers
