Say I have $250 to upgrade my espresso grinder from my current Hario? What are my options? I know I'm not going to get the best and the greatest but I can I get in the acceptable range? I'm all for used but finding something/anything in my area has proved fruitless to this...

Recently purchased a LaPavoni STRADIVARI GRAN ROMANTICA - SGR.
Trying to use my Baratza maestro plus, the coffee just runs straight through with no crema what so ever.
The grind is unable to go fine enough, even with the 40 settings.
My two year old Baratza Preciso is suddenly unable to grind fine enough for espresso.
I'm going to call Baratza today - but I don't know that it's going to be possible for me to service it, or worth sending it out to be repaired.

This is a bit of a weird one, but I'm looking for a grinder to use for everything except espresso. I've got a K10 Pro in another room that I use for espresso, but I'd like a dedicated grinder to use with my Bodum Bistro, Aeropress, V60 02 and Clever Dripper.

I have owned a Gaggia Classic for a few years now and I love it. However we have always bought pre-ground coffee to use with it. However I have decided to look into grinding my own and I am therefore seeing what is available out there. I have briefly looked at the Gaggia burr...
