Coffee grinder recommendations

[dazzlaa]

Been looking at the sage dose control at £118 currently. Would prefer cheaper if there’s a gem out there that performs above its price grade!

I have a sage bambino plus machine fyi

Any suggestions?

For the price, hard to beat tbf.

Thought it would be a good option. I did research the espresso machine quite well so I’m aware sage is a decent brand but part of me thinks “it’s only a grinder”!

I’ll get it ordered

I have a Eureka Mignon grinder and was happy to spend almost £300 on it. May be better options now but the was the single biggest element of overall espresso prep.

I think for price/performance the Sage is a good choice but depending on how into it you want to get (occasional drink versus all-consuming hobby), you’re at the lower end and may want to upgrade. FWIW I almost bought one of those too but I wanted to invest in something a bit higher end and more repairable. Just my experience, you may be very happy with the Sage.

The Eurika seems to be well reviewed but is considerably more expensive now. In a bad turn of luck, Amazon have currently sold out of the Sage, so I’m having to stay patient if I were to go for that model.

I bought a grinder on Amazon years ago imported from Germany, was cheap like £40 still going.

Only criticism is really loud, and getting fine adjustments on grind amount is pretty fiddly.

Edit: this one.

SEVERIN Grinder coffee grinder with electric grinder (100 W, stainless steel disc grinder, max. capacity 150 g) black/silver, KM 3874 https://amzn.eu/d/iezOt3B

That's inflation for you I paid about £40

I’m actually more keen on buying a cheaper model if they have good reviews, like what you mention. There’s a few on Amazon that seem to read well and my coffee intake isn’t at the addict level of some so could probably survive fine with something basic
