I'm brand new to the pour over game and am in the market for a decent grinder. My budget is $300 or less, I was considering the Baratza Encore ESP for the upgraded burrs and range (I also have a barista express). Then there is the (coming soon) Baratza Encore ESP Pro, includes some QOL features but otherwise the same grind, this pushes the Encore to the $300 range.
ESP and Pro versions aside basically everything points to the Baratza Encore, but the few head to head comparisons of the OXO conical burr and the Encore say they're grind quality is about the same which leaves me thinking, why spend up to $300 when I can spend $100 on the OXO...
What are peoples thoughts here between the two?
Hi I am in need of my first burr grinder and this OXO grinder is at my local target and I'm intrigued.

It is 50 bucks cheaper than the one everyone seems to recommend and even less with a 25 dollar gift card I got from work. Consumer reviews and youtube types seem to like it.
I will be using it for pour over , aero,and French press. No need for espresso (I am but a coffee embryo) .
If you have this grinder or have used it would you recommend it with the circumstances I've laid out?
thanks for your help
side question : electric kettle better than stove top for getting that ideal temp???
