What is the best espresso grinder under $200?

The DF54 (circa $150–$200) and Timemore Sculptor 064S are two of the best value espresso grinders under $200. The Baratza Sette 270 ($280) is slightly over budget but widely recommended. The Eureka Mignon Silenzio ($300–$350) is a significant step up in grind quality and noise reduction. Manual grinders (Commandante, 1Zpresso JX-Pro) in the $100–$180 range produce excellent espresso grind quality if you don't mind grinding by hand each shot.
