This is exactly where I am on the coffee spectrum. Cheap everything, fresh beans, plus a $40 investment on ebay to nab a burr grinder.

Be aware that there are different kinds of burr grinder. IIRC, it is preferable to have one that holds the grinding elements/surfaces (burrs) in what is referred to as a "conical" configuration. A quick google will elucidate; sorry, I'm still waking up...

Yeah, it's good to bring that up. I got lucky on the auction and grabbed a conic burr: the Bodum Antigua.

Works fantastic so far. Pretty highly recommended by me.
