Coffee grinders for espresso range from $100USD to $4000USD. Cheapest one's will be hand grinders and given your working on a De'Longhi Dedica EC685 -- You are in the budget range of espresso. Look into hand grinders, it'll take 30+ seconds & a bit of an arm workout but you'll get a good cup of espr

If you ever wanted a portable manual grinder, the 1Zpresso J ultra is better than "good enough". I use mine 3 times a day for the last year and am so impressed. I don't even use my high end electric grinder anymore. It's never a bad idea to have a manual hand grinder as backup anyway.

I keep my beans in the freezer with potato chip bag clips, or if the bag should tear I use a Ziplock freezer bag. Don't waste

Why? People used to say you get much better value for the money with hand grinders, but I’m not sure that’s still true… An 1Zpresso J Ultra and a DF54 will give you similar cup quality (it’s technically conical vs flat, but they’re actually closer in profile than one might think).

Hey, if you do exclusively milk drinks, I would not recommend this machine since the steaming is a bit annoying. I assume you're in the US? Sadly I don't know the pricing there. Do you know what you want out of the machine? Good looks, fast heat up, temp stability, ease of use, steaming power, all i
