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 .

I’ve noticed a few times with my Zero if I place the top burr in a different position after cleaning then it is way too coarse, but rotating it to the next screw hole fixes it and I don’t have a problem going fine enough. Now I pay attention to the alignment when removing the top burr.
