Shot in the dark: I have a 10 year old Baratza Virtuoso grinder (the original) which has done well for me, but I am about to dive into espresso. Should I upgrade the burrs to M2 ( https://www.baratza.com/en-us/product/kit-to-upgrade-virtuoso-to-m2-burrset-sp0100807?sku=SP0100807 ) or get a newer grinder that is espresso-primary. Can that grinder even manage espresso grinds with the upgraded burrs or would it just be a source of frustration? I would prefer to upgrade, but if I have to buy new I'd go with npub1xl5n3v4mwr5xdlfyrr8zg23dwlhnefpe52pdraj7kvaz70lrnyzqxzwsca (npub1xl5…wsca) budget recommendation of Baratza Encore ESP https://coffeegeek.com/guides/feature-guides/best-budget-coffee-grinders-for-2024/ #espresso #coffee
