Really compact grinders. I’ve found three, any more ideas?

Ever since the temporary replacement power supply arrived it has been used over the Niche since it fits my desired flavour profile better than the Niche does. (The Niche produces higher texture & lower clarity shots, the Mini produces higher clarity & lower texture competitively.) It also produces fluffier grounds and retains less than the Niche. There are a couple of workflow quirks you need to live with (slower grinding-just change your workflow a bit; needs lid on for grinding then off for palm-tap; catch cup good for pouring grinds out of but not for dosing; it's small and requires smaller hand movements). For the money the grind quality is amazing. Enjoying espresso more again since getting this grinder.Originally posted by tommy888 View PostHow is this going for you?(for espresso?)
I did a more detailed initial review here:

Thankyou! I’d only ever use it for espresso and I’m toying with the idea.
for a small footprint budget grinder, I might leave this here. Baratza are releasing an espresso version of their encore. I’ve searched some US coffee sites and it looks like it will sell sub 200USD

meets the OPs requirement for small footprint as well at an entry level price point.
availability might be the hard bit.
