I'm pretty new to home espresso (I brewed stovetop for 20 years), so still working a few things out.
Now ready to upgrade to a better grinder, and I think I know what will work for me, but wanted to check with you experienced upgraders, so I can learn from your mistakes, and not end up wanting something else right after buying.
Actually, that's probably unavoidable... but one must try.
I grind whole beans for every brew, I weigh them before grinding to get the dose I want, then grind 'til it's finished.
I don't leave beans in the hopper, because I usually have more than 1 roast at hand, I don't want it going stale, and I don't want to waste beans.
Given that, it seems that I don't need a grinder that controls dose with timing or scales, and I don't need a grinder with a dosing chamber.
I have really limited height (530mm total, under a shelf) to work with, so I'm looking at Barazza Setee 270 (best fit) or Eureka Atom (juuust fits).
Eureka obviously a better grinder, but it's gonna be more awkward to fill the hopper ever brew with only 9cm clearance.
Just wanna know, is the way I'm brewing/grinding weird - or is this how most people do it at home?
What am I missing, that I might like about a different process or different machine?
