Unfortunately, you will struggle with this as well if you are using an unpressurized basket. You need something that grinds finely, uniformly, and can adjust the same. The least expensive and capable units start at $200 and start getting reliable at around $300 and up.

Like the other person said, this won't get the job done for espresso, although if you're using one of the pressurized baskets and making only milk drinks then you might be able to get something passable. There aren't any grinders in this price range that yield a true espresso grind, if you're looking for that on a budget then you'll want to consider a good hand grinder instead.

This grinder looks suspiciously like the old Breville BCG450XL, enough to make me wonder if Brim ripped off the design or bought the old tooling to manufacture it. If that's the case then it should be a good deal at $35 for drip, French press, etc. but don't expect it to do much else.

Bought this from Meh some time ago. The value for the money was pretty good and I was happy to try out a burr grinder. I will say you can only fill the hopper to a lower fill line rather than full to prevent clogs/jams which did ultimately become my biggest beef with this unit. The hopper basket isn't removable so if it clogs cleaning it is a PITA. Maybe a wire brush would've worked - I always had a heck of a time getting it to unclog and work properly again.

The plastic grounds basket is prone to static like any other plastic one. Dropped it once and the hinge to one side of the lid broke which was still usable but even more of a pain.

Ultimately I upgraded to the Oxo which gets very good reviews and it's been a game changer - much more useful with a more consistent grind, hopper that can be filled and metal grounds container with a pouring spout in the lid.

It did cost about 2x as much but I love it. I dropped off the Brim at Goodwill - it's still usable for those willing to work around the flaws.

I haven't found a grinder under $200 that works for espresso.

Breville smart grinder pro barely makes the cut and eureka mignon crono was close in price when it was on sale. Poor longevity on the BSG pro though.

I actually have the Breville. I bought it a year before I broke down and just bought the Breville Barista Pro because it already has a grinder.

Can you recommend a good hand grinder? There are only the two of us that will be using this.

Here are mine:

Will work OK for espresso and just fine for most everything else:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0963PNMTV/

Will excel at espresso and work fine for most everything else:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09C1B38KB

I ended up returning the normcore and use the 1Zpresso more than my Orphan Espresso Pharos which I also recommend for espresso, but is grossly more expensive and not all that much better IMO than the 1Zpresso.

Good luck on your espresso journey.

Wow! First thanks for the info but I never expected to be paying that much for a hand grinder. I was thinking the JavaPresse would be ok. Maybe I better bailing out.
