title_body: Best Grinder for DeLonghi Dedica EC685
upvoted_answer: If I were you I'd go with the baratza encore (or something similar). It will do just fine for a pressurised basket and it's great for filter too (if James Hoffman uses it for his filter it's good enough for you and me). Don't buy a blade grinder, I've made that mistake. You will taste a huge difference between the two, the blade grinder being bitter and yucky. It's all about particle distribution and a blade grinder does the worst possible job at that.
  
  So, spend the money for a decent burr grinder and you won't only have better espresso; you can make delicious filter coffee too!
