Coffer grinder recommendation for both espresso drink and filter coffee
It depends on what kind of filter coffee you like. If you have disparate tastes in espresso and filter, this question is far more challenging at your budget. The reason why most filter drinkers dont like the Niche Zero or VS3 is because their conical burrs produce a lot of fines which are useful for

K6 Equivalent Electric Grinder from UK
Buy from china - ship to UK, thats the way (ship to india = crazy duties) Literal K6 alternative is femobook (both are sister companies to 1zpresso) and it will be a portable electric grinder. If you want basic there is the A2 but it wont be better than K6. There is the A4z for pour over (clarity fo

Niche Zero / Filter?
No input on the Niche, but I use a Femobook A5 for both espresso and pourover - no real complaints, and it takes up almost no room! I've also heard the Lagom Casa works really well for both - it was actually my first choice but no one in the US had it in stock when I was buying and I was up against

DF54 is terrible. Recommend me something better! [$500]
DF stuff is so bad. It’s so hit or miss. Femobook makes some great stuff. The A5 by them is Lance Hendricks at home grinder that he uses for espresso and pour overs

Help with lungo on lever machine [Argos Odyssey]
How does it taste? Everything else is irrelevant. I just got an Argos and I use a Femobook A5, which is very, very similar to a K-Ultra. I have maybe a 2-3 click difference between a traditional shot and more of a turbo shot from what I have seen so far on a handful of coffees. I don't personally en

Grinder with granular stepped adjustments that transitions well between espresso and drip? [$300]
u/Far_Abies_517 , the Femobook A5 would be the best for both. And it is an external adjustment like the 1Zpresso. Actually 100 clicks per rotation. 3 full rotations @ .008 micron per click. The battery operated ones are not the fastest in the world but for a just a few drinks a day I think they'd be p

Yet another Grinder and Machine Post
For the grinder, please tell us what kind of roasts you like (and could potentially like), I'd say go for the femobook a5 for an everything and anything grinder, near endgame for medium to light roasts, and pretty good for dark roasts. If you drink exclusively espresso and dark roasts, I actually wo

Baratza Encore ESP Pro or Lagom Mini for my use case? [$299]
So it seems it may be the burr set of J-Max? (one source is this, albeit defeasible: https://www.home-barista.com/advice/femobook-a4-and-a5-t91761.html). My reason for thinking that it might be J-Ultra was another thread on this sub (https://www.reddit.com/r/espresso/comments/1kzg8wl/feemobook_a4_279/
