How is Baratza Encore ESP as grinding machine for espresso? (self.coffee)

Hello again, After getting Gaggia Classic Pro Evo in August 2023, I have been using pre ground coffee from my local coffee shop.

I am planning to get Baratza Encore ESP to pair with my GCP since the grinder is currently on sale for like 10% off on Retail price.

Wanted to know if Encore ESP would be a good choice?

Espresso should be fun!

Gatekeeping Espresso into more expensive Grinders is kinda the opposite though?

Nah, just making sure people don't get frustrated and quit.

I get where you're coming from, but getting a grinder that makes making espresso frustrating might prevent someone from ever enjoying it. I'd be more likely to recommend a similarly priced hand grinder that can be retired to travel or pour over duty once funds are available for a nice electric espresso grinder
