    I finally decided to ditch my drip coffee machine and pre-ground coffee for a pour-over carafe and whole beans, I am feeling the same struggle as you right now. I'd love a burr grinder but I just can't shake the feeling that I'd be a sucker paying >$50 for one, and those are the CHEAPEST ones. Then in the reviews they will be like 4.5+ stars overall, but the top 5 most helpful rated reviews are like "this thing gave me cancer and caught my house on fire".

    FWIW though, even the cheapest blade grinder and whole bean coffee will probably make a better tasting cup than the best pre-ground.
