I honestly wouldn't know either way.

This topic kind of reminds me of the people who believe that they can taste and distinguish each one of dozens of notes within a bottle of wine. When that's put to the test, people fail it practically every time.

I could maybe see it happening with this, depending on the materials that the grinder was made out of. Some super cheap appliances might be made out of a toxic material that also spreads a bad odour/taste. The intensity of the grind itself could definitely play a role in flavour too.

I might test this one day, now I'm curious lol

With coffee it’s mainly the consistency of the grind. You want all particles to be the same size. Larger particles take longer to extract than smaller articles, and if it’s uneven you over/under extract parts of the coffee depending on grain size. This affects the flavor of the coffee. E.g. under-extracted is sour, and over-extracted too bitter.

An even grind requires a machine that’s been built with precision components and that’s expensive to make.

Youre absolutely off your rocker if you think a high quailty $200 burr grinder cant make excellent coffee at home.

A professional coffee shop doing mass volumes is pretty much the only reason to buy a $4000 grinder. That's something you get because you pull 1000 shots/day and need spare parts for repairs, because downtime costs you lots of money. Its not for Johnny "2 lattes."
