Smart Grinder Pro

Breville’s great, though most people here won’t recommend a machine with a built in grinder. That one comes with a Smart Grinder Pro, which is great for most bean types specially if you’re into Italian espresso/based drinks. You could go for a Bambino Plus and spend the rest ($600ish) on a much bett

For this machine, I've used a Breville SGP grinder, and it works very well with a medium/dark roast coffee at grind level 6, with a naked portafilter. But currently, I prefer to use it with a hand grinder.

if you want to putts about with settings and primally work with espresso shots, then the df54 but if convenance and flexibility is a key factor, which it is for us, the Breville smart grinder pro works seamlessly with the Infusers, ours has served us well for over 10 years and can grind for anything

For electric grinders in that range - the Breville Dose Control Pro (also called Smart Grinder Pro depending on region) is probably the best all-rounder at around $200. It has enough fine adjustment for espresso and is dead simple to use. The Baratza Encore ESP is another solid pick around $180 - Ba

I can personally verify that my breville smart grinder pro is proving quite tricky to dial in on my series 1. anyone considering one to pair with this in hopes of getting a grinder versatile enough to handle course brews and espresso on this machine should maybe look elsewhere...
