> The first recommendation I give to people that want to get into brewing better tasting coffee is to get a burr grinder, even a handheld one will do just fine. With a burr grinder you just get a more consistent grind which helps reduce the fines thereby reducing the bitterness.

I second this, but do get one with a metal burr like a Timemore, and not the oft-recommended Hario Skerton, which has a ceramic burr.

The manual grinding experience with a metal burr grinder is so much better.

I have a Hario mini-mill that I love while traveling, it has ceramic burrs though, never used one with metal burs for traveling.

I use my Baratza for my day to day coffee, but that was not a cheap upgrade.
