I've been keen on upgrading my Breville Smart Grinder Pro for a while now. At first I was keen on getting an 'all rounder' like the HeyCafe H1.
Recently though my thinking has changed - as my wife and I are primarily pour over and french press drinkers, I thought why not spend a bit more and look at some 'brew' grinders and this is where I've hit information overload and need some pointers as to where to look.
Criteria is that it must be good for brew (not fussed at this stage about espresso performance), preferably able to be single dosed, decent aesthetics (to help with wife approval), ideally my budget is $1700 but can be stretched to $2k at a push.
Thanks guys, I'm lookkng forward to seeing what the recommendations are.

- Baratza Forte BG - although I'm a bit put off by the lack of support for Baratza grinders in Australia as compared to the US and this has been around since 2013 with not much in the way of updates and innovation.
- Lagom P64 - just outside my price range but wins on aesthetics and grind uniformity.
- HeyCafe H1 - this is still in the run, just a little worried about its 'generalist' nature. I'd love to hear from owners. New comer, I know there are a few owners here that I'd love to hear from.
