I always thought expensive grinders were just hype until I tried my friend's $400 one

Borrowed my neighbor's Baratza Vario for a weekend and my morning pour-over actually tasted like stone fruits instead of just bitter. I mean, I guess burr size really does matter more than I thought. Has anyone else had a budget setup that surprised them when they upgraded?

My buddy Dave went from a $20 blade grinder to a used Encore and his coffee went from tasting like ash to actually having flavor. He swore up and down he couldn't tell the difference between cheap and expensive gear for years. Now he won't shut up about uniform particle size.
