I'm very fond of Doi Chaang, which is in Vancouver.

How much are you willing to spend per pound?
A starting point: https://www.vancouvercoffeesnob.com/lists/top-10-best-coffee-roasters-in-vancouver-2018/
I quit coffee maybe 5 years ago. It was more of a hobby at the time. Thinking about starting drinking coffee again. Had a couple Keurig's lately waiting @ shop for vehicle repairs, and remembered how much I like it lol. But not in a hardware hobby way. Before I was spending about $18 for half pound bag from roaster. Price now is $23 / half pound. Way too much as my disposable income is much lower.
Anyone try beans from buycoffeecanada.com? About half the price of the roaster I was using.
I also don't want to have to spend 5 to 10 minutes making a cup like I use too. Any decent grinders out there that will give a consistent dose for not a huge amount of money? I do have enough Air Miles remaining to get a Breville Smart Grinder Pro, if its worth the 'money'.
I think using the ol' Aeropress is quick enough if I don't have to worry about measuring and hand grinding beans every use.
EDIT: Another grinder I could grab w/ Air Miles is the Baratza Encore ESP. Seems like a better choice over the Breville.

The coffee aficionados will mock me... but I have a $30 Presidents Choice (I think) grinder that has been working for years, for when I feel I have the time for fresh ground, usually if I want to use the Bodum for example. Otherwise, we just use already ground stuff we like

James does a lot of cool videos about coffee related stuff including grinders.
Personally just have a De'Longhi KG89 because they were on clearance at costco at one point.
What surprises me though is that a horrid Keurig is what got you wanting more again considering how bad of coffee even the "nicer" machines make.
How bad is a sliding scale though... muddy water looks pretty darn good to a man in the desert!James Hoffmann

Aeropress at work with Levazza fine grind (but costco grinder usually can grind fine enough).
Bodum at home with any variety of ground bean.
Only use cream, never any sweetener (I'm not a savage!)
Don't forget to keep your used grinds for compost/fertilizer, there's plenty of uses.

I just received terrible news. Doi Chaang has discontinued their single origin coffee and will continue to supply their blends only, which I do not like.
