Moving to a flat burr grinder from Sette: what's the best option available in EU right now?

Hi folks, I want to upgrade to a better grinder than my Sette 270. It served me well for about 6 years or so. I am mainly trying to explore but also aiming to get more consistency and less blandness from my shots I want to buy something that's reasonable priced in Europe and has good service also

Odyssey Argos owner experience

Someone could come up with a float shut-off for the supplied funnel, or 3d print a funnel with an integrated shut-off float. A small ball with a thread epoxied to it would work just fine.

    Any Benefit to Slow Grind Speed
