My lovely wife brought me a Daewoo espresso maker for Christmas. So I thought I'd go the whole hog and get a electric coffee grinder. Any recommendations or are they all much of a muchness?

I've got a very nice delonghi one I've had for about 20 years.
The recommendation I got was to get a burr grinder (I think that's the name) where you set the grind level. Rather than one of those whirry blade ones.
I hope that makes sense
I recommend a James Hoffman rabbit hole on YouTube eg

+1 for a burr.
Ceramic is nice but not essential. Make sure it's widely adjustable.. 'cos they can also be pressed into action for grains.

Given I'm only grinding enough for a double expresso each time, are manual ones cheaper?

You will get bored...
But better still buy lavazza espresso.
By far the best imo. Nothing comes close.

A reasonable manual would be something like this:

I have the previous version but only use it for occasional French press brews. I think the good electric grinders also control dose by time, so they are doing 2 steps at once.
