Yeah. I have a somewhat cheap one at around $300, but if you don’t wanna buy, try looking for local roasteries. They usually offer ground options. Even some coffee shops will grind it for you if you ask nicely.
Use it within a week or so, and it’s very close. Hell, I’d say even two weeks is fine, but it may depend on your method of brewing, and sensitivity of palate. You can even freeze part of the grounds to keep them fresh for longer. James Hoffmann did a nice video about it.
I use an Aergrind by Knock ($150ish). It’s been fantastic for my Flair as well as pour overs. It is a manual grinder, but I don’t have the money to not do manual.
Making coffee like a barista is infinitely more satisfying. A combined coffee machine: grinder and pressured hot water is bound to be cheaper than a fully automated one. You can push the grains down yourself, and make the coffee as strong or weak as you like.
Fully automated coffee machines. I love coffee but these things suck, coffee tastes weak and they often break. They even mold inside.
The best pourover kits in existence cost like $25 USD max too. There’s no reason to not learn how to do it right.
I have one that just sits on top of my coffee cup.
You will still need a good grinder for your beans and those things are expensive. Assuming you don’t want plastic bits in your grind.

I have that option, but… supposedly… preground coffee is just not the same.

Nice. Might try the freezing part. I’ve just been using a moka pot, nothing fancy.

True. I have a decent hand-one for $50, but they can get pretty expensive.

Love my aeropress.
The pour over press is the best coffee flavor I’ve ever had. And so inconvenient.
