Smart Grinder Pro

I have had 3 Shardor grinders, 2 of them being the model shown, one being a replacement for a cheaper one, the third being a replacement for the second. The first 2 lasted less than 6 months in combined total, and the third showed signs of exhaustion on speciality coffees, at which point i moved up

Regarding the grinder, I personally think most people should just get a used grinde

I've been using the Breville Smart Grinder Pro with the same espresso machine as yours. It been rock solid and does grind very fine. I have it set to 12 typically but that's dependent on the coffee bean. So with good espresso it's consistently good and hits the 12 o'clock mark on the pressure guage.

I don't think that's ideal, but it will do the job for now. Save up for any of these. All should be below $220 in most places: DF54 - best budget flat burr grinder Fellow Opus - best 'flat burr tasting' conical grinder Baratza Encore ESP - noisy, but best value for money imo Breville Smart Grinder p
