What type of espresso grinder should I get for my Dedica Arte? [$50]
Espresso capable grinders under $50 are hard to find. You would have to go for a hand grinder for sure since electric grinders start at around $150/200. My pick would probably be a Timemore C3 ESP through Aliexpress (Amazon etc. would set you over $50).

Budget Grinder
Hi, when i started out with my espresso journey (using Wacaco Picopresso), I opted for Timemore C3ESP manual coffee grinder with 23.3microns per adjustment. It was a good hand grinder. Grinds very fine and doesn't clog my picopresso. I had this setup for 2.5ish years. I have upgraded to a Bambino Pl

yes, for espresso, there is a considerable difference the C3S has a step size (for each click) of 83 microns, while on the C3ESP its 23 microns with the plate mod, the step size on C3S would change to 33 microns, as it has 30 clicks per turn, instead of the stock 12 clicks per turn on the C3S the di

Manual Grinder for plastic free espresso quality grinds [$150]
You definitely want to go with stainless steel burrs. For manual grinders in that price range you’re going to be looking at conical burrs. You just need to make sure that whatever you buy is rated for espresso. I have a Timemore Chestnut C3 Esp Pro. Runs around 85-150 USD depending upon sales (it wa

I bought a Budan machine and this ground coffee, but my espresso is turning out very watery. Will I have to buy a coffee grinder?
How fine are the grinds? A preassurized basket will be better if it's watery. A timemore c3 esp will be good enough to make home espresso. The J ultra is best option besides an electric but for a bottomless portafilter you need the right grind size.

Indicações
Achei ontem no Aliexpress a melhor opção custo benefício que existe no Timemore C3 ESP aproveitando que foi retirado o imposto da taxa das blusinhas abaixo de 50 dol! Usando o cupom NAMR3 fica abaixo dos U$D50 e paga menos imposto. Sai preço final mais ou menos R$375. E é um moedor com uma construçã

Best beginner grinder?
you can't use the C3s for espresso, you would need the C3ESP also, the C5 ESP can be cheaper elsewhere, but curretly it seems there is a C5 shortage in India due to high demand, so prices might have increase a bit (it was around INR 8500 recently) have both C3esp and C5esp, and the C5esp is another

Moedor de café para prensa francesa
Mas o Timemore C3 nem é indicado para espressos (a não ser que você use filtros pressurizados). Acho que, nessa linha, o Timemore C3 ESP seria o mais indicado para espressos e para a sua prensa. O Blade R3 também é uma boa opção. E se quiser um elétrico, indico o Starseeker E55 Pro. Ele é construído
