Yep, I'm a convert too.

A local company had a deal where you could buy their ceramic burr coffee bean grinder and use it for a month.

If you didn't think it made better coffee, you could return it and get all of your money back - and they paid the return shipping.

I brought the grinder, fully expecting to send it back.

I bought exactly the same beans as the ground coffee I usually bought, Lavazza Espresso Barista Gran Crema.

The difference was noticeable and I kept the grinder.

The grinder is bloody noisy and a bit of shock first thing in the morning, but I put up with that because the coffee tastes and smells better.
