Coffee grinders. Don't bother getting one of those shitty ones that look like a blender, they hack the coffee beans apart and make them horribly inconsistent. It's worth investing in a burr grinder. The cheapest ones start around $80.
Can you link an example?
I used to have a Capresso one I really liked. Right now I have this Bodum one which is apparently only $70, but they go up from there, easily into the hundreds
Burr grinders give a more consistent grind, better flavor, and are easier to clean
Do you just leave beans in the hopper?
You can, some people don't. Between my partner and I we empty the hopper every 2-3 days or so.
I use the Kinggrinder K6 and it's pretty good for $100. It makes a pretty even grind and is built very we. Just a tad bit pricey imo but coffee related anything is expensive once you step past generic big brand things and start measuring and grinding your own beans
