I started with a Gaggia MDF grinder and refurbed Gaggia Baby and was around 500 bucks into it.

After a lot of trial, I am sad to say, your budget will get you the grinder only if you are wanting to avoid upgraditis within a year, provided you really start liking espressso.

Real espresso begins with the grinder, and somebody please show me a grinder less than 400 bucks that is capable of consistent espresso
