    Hello CS team!

    My partner and I just picked up a Silvia V6 and need to decide on a grinder.

    I've narrowed it down to 3 options, happy to hear what else you'd recommend over these but unfortunately the price needs to be below $1,000.

    My trio of choice are,

    1. Eureka Mignon Single Dose
    2. Precision GSO
    3. DF64

    I'm leaning to the eureka for reliability and quality reasons.

    We are only going to be grinding for espresso and don't have an interest in light roast, but you never know.

    Initially I was going for the Sette 270wi but have seen too many people having issues.

    Hopefully we can come to an agreement on which is the most ideal with your help.

    Congrats on the new machine. What style of drink do you like?

    For example light roasted without milk or medium roasted long black or dark roasted latte etc?

      Thank you JohnA, I was considering the niche, but the wait might be too much for my partner and I. We are eager to get going. Having no local help for warranty is also concerning for us.

      SPA50 If you look at their website, shipping is September, so the wait wont be long, as for warranty, you hardly hear of any breaking down, so i wouldnt be too concerned about it

      JohnA I did see in a couple of reviews they say conical is more an espresso burr and flat is more pour over and drip. Another spanner in the works.

    Members like level3ninja and CleanFinish and EspressoAdventurer will be better qualified than me to comment on this. I'm more of a dark guy (espresso 😎)

      I wouldn’t be worried about the niche it’s a great grinder for what you’re looking for.

          I've gone with the DF64 and absolutely love it's build and feel so far. The grinds are coming out fluffy and clump free. Will be getting the anti popcorn 3d printed by a friend. Just deciding on which declumping screen I want to go with.

            For regular espresso, medium to dark roast with milk, I'm a huge fan of the mignon.

                Looks like a great little setup! All the basics there needed to make a coffee as good as any cafe kicking around and without breaking the bank.
