Need suggestions for grinder

☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!
Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!
Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.
Eureka Facile (or Manuale - they're basically the same thing, Facile has extra sound dampening)
A few 3D printed extras (angled based, angled hopper chute), and silicon bellows (Etsy sells everything), and you've got yourself one hell of a single doser.
And it's actually quiet, unlike many of the Baratza products; if they're too much $, though the Encore ESP is good, and while loud-ish, quick.
I had the Breville SGP before my Eureka, wasn't a fan of it - stepless is the way.
This is a good suggestion.
I'd like to emphasize that a quiet grinder really is worth a little premium. I have a eureka mignon crono and that thing likes to scream with its lack of sound proofing.
When using a friend's mignon silenzio I was surprised by how much nicer it felt to be able to make a quiet cup in the morning.
Long story short, I'm now looking into applying sound proofing to my grinder and I wish I'd just spent a little more to get a much better experience out of the box.
Interesting. I don't think I mind the noise too much. I wake up pretty late, so I don't really worry about the noise. I will keep it in mind, though.
Thanks for the suggestion!
I can't speak for the Baratza but one of the surprises we got switching to the Opus over our previous cheapie Cuisinart was how much quieter it is - can actually grind with other people asleep in the house!
