Don't get a manual grinder for espresso, you'll hate yourself and get an electrical grinder after a short while.
Tijmen-
I'd say it depends on which grinder and how many cups per day. I'm fine with 2 a day and could easily double that without incurring self hate.
Also down to your chosen roast as lighter ones would take more work/time. -
I agree with this actually.
Luckily I am asking for a friend so it's their labour, not mine!
Any particular electric grinder recommendations?

This. The drive belt broke on our Mahlkönig Vario and it turned out to be impossible to get a replacement in Europe despite it being a Conti German-made belt. After a saga involving our friend in Berlin failing to buy one from a place in Germany, we now have one on the way direct from Baratza in the states (the Mahlkönig is just a rebadged Baratza, or vice versa).
I can't wait for the belt to arrive, our morning espresso has been hard work under lockdown with a Porlex, it just takes so bloody long!

Best affordable grinders for home espresso?
Last time I checked in the recommendations were:
Manual: Porlex or Knock
Electric: Iberital MC2
Any advances on these?
Thanks.
