I currently use a Hario hand grinder and a Kitchenaid (I think) burr grinder from Costco. I feel like my grinders aren't terrible and it's rapidly diminishing returns from my grinders to the next tiers. But I want to get into espresso... so I think for this situation it may quickly become noticeable.

If you want "passable for espresso" The Baratza Encore is really good. Snobs will tell you it isn't consistent enough, or have enoguh settings, but it's fine. Plus you can upgrade the burrs to the Virtuoso, which can be done once the originals wear out. The best part of the company is every part is available for reasonable prices on their website so you can keep it running, and upgrade stuff. They have higher end models if you want to move up.
