If so, the absolute minimum grinder for the job is a Rocky, imo.

Last time I checked, they can be found for around $350 and will serve you for many many years.

I cannot rave enough about this grinder.
No regrets at all having dropped what it cost me.

On a somewhat idiotic reasoning side note, I just find it so cool that for the most part, I find that no matter what coffee shop I walk into in Miami, they have a Rancilio machine and a Rancilio grinder. It just reinforces the choice I made.
