> I'm sure whole beans and a grinder is better, and I might upgrade to that eventually, just haven't yet In my experience, you won't get better coffee from grinding the beans yourself, but you'll be able to let beans sit a little longer before they start to get bitter. That said, you can get cheap, high-quality grinders that are good for pour-over coffee relatively inexpensively (Hario makes pretty good hand-crank burr grinders in the $35-$40USD range; I bought mine in 2012 and it's still going strong with occasional cleaning) if you want to go down that road but not sink a bunch of money into it. I wouldn't recommend getting an electric blade grinder, though. It's too difficult to keep things consistent.
