I actually prefer grinding just before brewing coffee. It's a $20 investment, and well worth it. http://www.amazon.com/Black-Decker-CBG100W-Coffee-Grinder/dp/B

  A blade grinder like that won't do a terribly good job for something like an AeroPress. Grind quality is one of the most overlooked aspects of good coffee. You really need a decent conical burr grinder to get a consistent fine grind. I like my Capresso grinder that I picked up for something like $70, but a quick googling turns up several well-reviewed burr grinders in the $30 range.

    Yes, ideally made of ceramic. There is no point in spending money on good coffee if the other variables are not up to spec. (This is totally my personal waist of money, in no way diminishing anybody's taste and budget)

    I like the ritual of a manual grinder: http://www.amazon.com/Hario-MSS-1B-Mini-Coffee-Grinder/dp/B001804CLY http://www.amazon.com/Hario-MSS-1B-Mini-Coffee-Grinder/dp/B0... It only takes 20 seconds or so for a single cup, and it gets your blood moving a little bit first.

    Also try craigslist. These burr grinders last forever. I got one for $5 that's probably 20 years old. Grinds are nice an consistent.
