Don't get a manual grinder for espresso, you'll hate yourself
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!

Don't get a manual grinder for espresso, you'll hate yourself and get an electrical grinder after a short while.
