The Magical Fruit

The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.

Need ideas for new grinder ($200-400) (beehaw.org)

Hey all, I'm in the market for a new burr grinder. I've read good things about the Baratza Virtuoso+ and have a friend who enjoys their Virtuoso but says it's gotten less consistent over the years even with a burr replacement. It's right in the middle of my desired price range however.

I'm looking to mostly do Aeropress and V60 pourover, not espresso, but I'm not against a grinder that has more espresso options, if it's still capable of good coarser grinds. I'm also not interested in hand cranking so the grinder must have a timer/automatic setting so I can add the beans and let it grind while I work on prepping the rest of the brew.

What should I be looking at in the $200-400 USD price range?

Thanks; it does seem like the Ode is a popular option. Anything you'd recommend if I stretched the budget?

I’ve been eyeing the Vario W+ and the Orphan Espresso Apex myself.
