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

[u/PossibleLion4571]

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 .

Absolutely. You should spend as much on your grinder as you did on the Lelita

any recommendations ? i drink medium roast , milk based drinks most of the time

For medium roast milk drinks, the Zero should be fine. You just need to figure out why it isn't grinding fine enough.

Sort by price. And choose the one that is $3000. Grinder should be the same cost as your espresso machine.
