is that a coffee grinder?
900$ msrp now on sale for $600??? are you kidding me? is that something industrial grade or for coffee shops? Single dose though, so its for personal use at homes... I must be getting old and poor.. these used to cost $10 before...
Not sure if this is an honest question or not but I'll answer anyway. Espresso is a pretty awesome but expensive hobby to get into if you like espresso that is. Good machines run from ~$400 to multi-thousands of dollars. Same with grinders, an entry level 1Zpresso K (a hand grinder) runs about $130-$250 depending on the model.

An entry level electric burr grinder like the Baratza Encore is ~$150, but each click for adjusting grind size skips like 3 to 5 in-between settings that a more expensive grinder would have, which is needed when dialing in your perfect espresso shot.

Most people seem to like the Turin DF64 (older/alternate model, not variable speed) for ~$400 or the Niche Zero for ~$675.

Last, there are multiple higher end options that easily stretch into the multi-thousand dollar range, but the most comparable model to this post is the Lagom P64 which costs ~$1800.

I am not the best at explaining this, but a decent burr (flat or conical) grinder will change your coffee life forever. The whole principle behind coffee is hot water passing through coffee grinds and extracting its water soluble compounds into your cup. Do you use a cheap $10 spinney blade grinder? Look at the grounds and you'll notice they aren't a consistent shape and size. This creates turbulence when water is poured, which in turn creates channels and an overall uneven extraction which will impact your final result. A burr grinder produces a mostly consistent output. Do you have a burr grinder, but are grinding too fine? The too-fine grinds will clog your filter or coffee basket which in turn takes longer to pour into your cup. This over-extraction causes a bitter result. Do you have a burr grinder, but are grinding too coarse? Water will pass too quickly through your filter or basket and the under-extracted result will be sour.

In any case, there are tons of online resources that can explain better then I can but I hope you understand why some coffee enthusiasts choose to pay hundreds or even thousands on their equipment. This particular deal was posted because most new and decently affordable espresso grinders are quickly sold out and are backordered for months.

Agree and for those who make drip this machine is overkill. Oxo, baratza or other conical burr grinders cost much less and will help your daily drip game drastically! Some people confuse espresso with coffee but the grind and brew methods are very different and need different brewing methods. For example an espresso grind is super fine like powdered sugar while a drip grinds need to be more like table salt consistency. If you make and love espresso then this type is irreplaceable but for some people it's not what they need and they may confuse the two! Hope this helps

To add to this, I have a Breville Barista Pro that has a grinder with the machine. It is good, but it doesn't have enough steps to the grind settings. Meaning the amount of adjustability on the grind settings. For what I have as a grind setting 8 ( a more coarse grind setting), it makes the extraction too fast at 24 seconds. Ideally, I want it to be around 30 seconds extraction time. I tried to make the grind finer, and set it to 7 but the extraction time became 36 seconds because it's too fine.

So that is one use case as to why someone would want to pay extra money to get a better grinder for the $$. People that really like expresso as a hobby want to create the "perfect" shot of expresso, and spending that extra money on a fancy grinder will get them one step closer to perfection.

Think for the price, the Niche Zero for a bit more will still be better bang for bucks. The DF64 based on reviews seem to have a few annoyances that are unforgivable for the price. Especially the grinds flying everywhere/ static because the cup is too far away.

Have you tried to adjust the internal burr setting? I have adjusted mine and it gave me finer control on the actual outer dial. I've been able to get 30 secs pulls with 18g in and 36g out

I haven't, I kept it on 4. Do you know how many steps on the outter burr is = to one step on inner burr?
