I drink coffee from a 6-cup Melitta manual pot. A good burr grinder makes a big difference over the $20 bean smashers sold as 'grinders'. Even cheap beans make decent coffee, for me, if the coffee is relatively fresh and ground just before brewing. I started with a Capresso grinder but now use a Baratza Encore, which I guess is thought of as the best of the low end grinders, good for drip and pour-over coffee, not so great for espresso. Next biggest improvement was water at the right temp - about 200 degrees F. I use a Bonavita electric kettle.

I'd really like a Technivorm. They are beautiful and beautifully designed to make good coffee, IMO.

I can't distinguish between coffee from the Capresso and Baratza grinders. The reason I got the Baratza is that the Capresso stopped working. Then I kept tinkering with the Capresso, and it works now, which is how I can compare them. You can get more spare parts for the Baratza, so it will last longer than the Capresso; at least when I bought mine, the Cap's lower burr wasn't user replaceable and the Baratza's is.
