I'm looking to purchase a new grinder around the $1000AUD mark, this include Niche, DF64 with upgraded burrs, or Eureka Mignon XL. I'm currently using the grinder from my Barista Express, and found the inbuilt grinder annoying to dial in. I go from clogged to under 20secs shots with one step.
I drink predominately cappuccinos, but getting more into less milky drinks. I do have a french press, vietnamese phin and want to get a V60 as well. At the moment I don't tend to swap these as it's a pain with the grinder and the results I've gotten are only OK for the effort of adjusting the grind.
I'm leaning towards the XL, as I don't think I'll want to weigh beans ever time I make a coffee, and I don't think the 0.1-0.2g retention will be earth shattering especially coming from the stock BES grinder. Plus it has the stop so can clear a few grams of beans, adjust the grind for a french press/ v60.
Anything I'm missing should be aware of?
