Quality is most important to me, but it’d be great if it wasn’t so expensive that I would blow my life savings just by purchasing it. If there is a great one that is between $300-$500 (perhaps even less), I’d love to hear about it. But if you know of one that is more expensive but works fantastically, I’ll certainly be open to that one too.

I also want to grind my own beans and not use pods, so I’d also like to hear either about machines that come with grinders or decent grinders that are sold separately.

I’m sorry if what I’m asking for is a little demanding, but I’d certainly appreciate any and all input! Thanks!
