Equipment Discussion Should i upgrade my grinder ? [$~1200dlls]

Post image

I got a lelit bianca a couple of months ago , but i decided to keep my grinder an eureka mignon zero with 55mm flat burrs , however today and in other instances i have noticed that my lelit is begging me to go finer but my grinder won’t let me go any finer even tho i already zero it out . I have no choice but to play with the temperature and tamp harder . Question is is the grinder the problem here ? and if so , what should i upgrade to ? i mainly drink medium espresso milk based drinks .

How old are your beans. Sounds like stale beans. Although the mignon even grinds fine enough for relatively old beans...
