Smart Grinder Pro

Breville’s great, though most people here won’t recommend a machine with a built in grinder.

As other said, r/espresso Usually the recommendation is a breville/sage bambino, and a capable grinder. Depending on what kind of coffee you drink, anything from a breville SGP (I recommend this to absolute beginners especially if they make non-espresso coffees at home bc it can always be your gener

I used a Smart Grinder Pro with my Breville Infuser for years ... and it pulled fantastic shots of light roast. You can find one used for $100 or less.

The Sage may not have come top, but it was featured in Hoffmann's grinders for under £250 video on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7xGhGtvYIs Moreover he doesn't rate it the worst. Also you asked for grinder recommendations under £200, which the Sage falls into. That said so do some of the
