Suggested grinders for espresso (piefed.social)

Since buying my Gaggia Classic earlier this year, I have purchased three manual grinders, but they all share the same issue: the grind settings are either too fine or too coarse. For example, my latest grinder is the Chestnut C3s Pro. It has a wide range of steps, but even at step 8, the first setting where water flows through, it flows too quickly. At step 7, it does not flow at all.

Can someone recommend grinders with more granular grind settings?

This is becoming an expensive hobby.

Note: I'm typically using 19g of coffee, if that is relevant.

There's the MHW-3 Bomber R3 Pro, with an adjustment fineness of 15µm per click (burr movement), the Timemore C5 Pro Esp (specifically the Esp version), 15µm/click, the Kingrinder K6 at 16µm, the Timemore Millab M01 at 12.5µm, the Kinu Phoenix (stepless). The Kingrinder and Timemore are the most price friendly, but the 1Zpresso J-Ultra is the one to get, inexpensive for the quality, and 8µm/click.
