From our written rules
How our pairing rules treat it
The quiz pairs every machine with grinders by the same rule: the grinder has to be made for espresso and cost between 15% and 1.5× the machine. All the rules.
Grinder price band
$90–900
15% to 1.5× its price of $600. It needs a separate grinder; 19 espresso grinders in our list fall in the band.
Cheapest setup the rules allow: $709, with the KINGrinder K6.
How it maps to quiz answers
- Drinks
- Mostly straight shots
- A bit of both
Not for “Mostly milk drinks”: Its steaming is too modest for a milk-drink habit.
- Counter
- Small counter
- Some room
- Plenty of space
- Workflow
- Happy to learn the basics
- I enjoy dialing in
- I want to tinker
Not for “Push a button”: It needs a separate grinder and hands-on technique; you asked for minimal fuss.
