Grinders
Entry electric burr grinder
The classic first upgrade. Consistent grounds at the push of a button, with enough settings to cover drip, pour-over, and French press. Skip it if espresso is the goal; that takes a finer, pricier tier.
Best for: Households brewing several cups dailyBest for: Anyone outgrowing an auto-drip's pre-ground habit
Worth knowing: You'll hear it across the house at 6 am
