Same! I only tolerated coffee before the pandemic and thought I just didn't really like it, I had a Kuerig, then a Nespresso machine and all were "meh" tasting to me, I drank it for the caffeine, not the taste. While everyone else was making sourdough bread during the pandemic I became a coffee nerd, largely because I could no longer walk to the store and pick up the Nespresso pods. I got store bought whole beans and used a simple $30 electric herb grinder and was like "alright, this is better than the pods". I then dropped about $130 on a Barazza Encore and that was miles better, even with store bought coffee. I switched to fresh roasted delivery coffee and that was even better. Then I dropped $500 on an espresso level grinder and that was even better, but not anywhere close from the cheap blade grinder compared to a burr grinder. I cut myself off there.
