New to this, new set up
Enjoy your new bambino! Yes, for that budget point I’d go for Baratza Encore ESP/ Pro or a DF54. Great grinders. The OXO should definitely be returned because it’s not really capable of doing what you need it for :) Have fun

The amount of coffee in the body of my [Eureka Silenzio]
You should see my Baratza Encore ESP lol. Sometimes it is generous enough to share the coffee with me.

Grounds come out in chunky clumps? [ECM automatik 54]
Isn't the answer right there: "WDT them away." Not at all uncommon--e.g. I've found that the Baratza Encore ESP can be the same, with my dark-roast beans. Interestingly, using the same burrs, the Baratza Encore ESP Pro produces non-clumpy, fluffy grounds, seemingly as the result of the grinder's inc

Mamma mia
That's absolutely not true, you can get a used baratza encore esp for like 100. Even the regular encore can grind fine enough for espresso, the increments are just too big. I had the same machine as OP, i just pulled the plastic insert out of the stock portafilter and put a non pressurised basket in

Best ESPRESSO machine
Baratza Encore ESP and a Breville Bambino. This is a solid, user friendly setup with some ways to upgrade (improved brew basket) and Baratza has long been the industry standard for your use case (you're ready to move into specialty coffee, but not ready to commit to spending your life savings). I wo

Non-coffee drinker seeking advice on what espresso machine to buy for my daughter [$400-$500]
It depends on her personality and what she likes to do. There are some coffee machines in your price range where you can tinker with every detail (Gaggia Classic Pro E24 would be a good one for that) or even levers like the Flair 58 if she drinks mainly black coffee. But if she just wants to make co

New to community and espresso, for my wife. Budget [$1,000] USD.
You don’t care for coffee and your wife prefers vanilla lattes. Save the cash and get a baratza encore esp pro. It’s more than enough for good espresso. If you don’t mind spending more just for the hell of it, look into the Niche zero or Lagom Casa.

Df64, upgrade notable?
Que diferencia habra entre el baratza encore esp con el Df64, y el Df64 con el eureka mignon? En cuestion de distancias hablo, no diferencias estructurales. Porque hasta el momento pensaba que era muy buen molinillo el df64. Muchas gracias por tomarte el tiempo de contestar!!

Should i buy a new grinder? [$200]
K6 requires more arm muscle, but it has much better grind quality than a Baratza. The only reason to buy a $200 electric grinder would be for ease of use. An electric grinder with better grind quality than the K6 will cost much more than $200. If you decide to get the Encore, make sure you get the E
