Hey all -
I'm currently an enthusiastic filter brewer (v60, Aeropress, Clever Dripper) with a Baratza Encore.
I'm looking at getting started on my espresso journey with a Bambino / Bambino Plus. From the research I've done, I'm making a few assumptions:
My question: is there an espresso grinder available for sub-$1000 that can grind for filter as well as, or nearly as well as, the Encore? Or am I going to need two grinders on the bench?

I'm looking at getting started on my espresso journey with a Bambino / Bambino Plus. From the research I've done, I'm making a few assumptions:
- Baratza Encore will only really work for espresso if I'm using the pressurized portafilter.
- If I want to progress to standard portafilters, I'm going to need to invest in a grinder that's more fit for espresso.
