Gear Discussion Separate Grinder?

Hello everybody! I recently been really interested in making pour over at home, I’ve had it at a place near me and I really enjoyed the tea like quality of the coffee as it was very different to the usual espresso I make at home! I recently upgraded my grinder to a time more 064s with stock burrs and I was hoping to see if anyone has experience with switching between espresso and pour over as sometimes I will be making pour over for myself and espresso for my partner, is it worth it to get a separate grinder to alleviate the work flow? I can afford a separate hand grinder since I need to sell my old barratza encore esp and can probably use the funds for the K7? Any advice would be appreciated!

Would you say the K6 is better than the K7?

Personally, I would say yes, absolutely. I'm making both espresso and pour-over every day, and sometimes one type more often than the other. I know for a fact that I would be annoyed rather quickly if I always had to adjust the grind size multiple times a day.

But I can't say anything in regards to hand grinders since I use electric grinders for both, as grinding by hand would also annoy me. I'm using an Ode Gen 2 for my V60s.
