I've got a burr grinder and a 12 cup Mr. Coffee. Probably a total of $60 invested. Makes my perfect black coffee reliably every morning. No cream or sugar involved. Maybe a little Bailey's though.
I see you have a bag of "Really Cheap Coffee" with your space age coffee maker. What the hell is that thing?

The machine is a Bodum Granos. It's wonderful. It even leaves a solid puck.
The grinder is a Jura Capresso. I've only used it a couple times so far, but it's got some of the best burrs that I've seen in a sub-$100 grinder. I'd venture to say that the burrs are the same part from some of Jura's more expensive fully-automatic machines.

How much did you pay for that thing? It looks like it has living quarters for a mini-barista in the bubble.
I used to have a $10 grinder, but I burned it out and upgraded to the burr grinder. Well, actually my wife upgraded me. I would have been satisfied with the el cheapo model.
I think it was $400. I can't remember. I bought it on amazon.com.
I used to have a $10 grinder too, until I got tired of holding the button, and I wired a switch onto it. The phone rang one day, and I forgot about it, and it burned up. The next one I bought was still a blade grinder, but it had a timer. After the first one of those burned out I bought another one. Then the blades dulled on that one, so I started looking at other options.

is this at your home or office?
I kind of miss those days. At the office for 16-17 hours a day, every meal is taco bell, smoking 2 packs a day, just go home long enough to grab a few hours sleep and do it again the next day.
Now i spend no more than 8 hours at the office, work from home, get drunk with the wife, continue to work for another 5-6 hours and troll hondaswap in between.
Anyway. My coffee bar is bad ass. 3 16 cup insulated holders, a giant commercial coffee machine. <3
Sadly, i drink a coke every morning instead of coffee. my stomach just cant handle it anymore.
Yeah, I'm unmarried, and have no life, that seems a lot like my days come to think about it. I'm here from 0700 to at least 1900. Sometimes I eat all three meals at my desk.

yeah back in the day I'd work all night and watch my son all day and if I was awake I was drinking coffee. Almost 2 pots a day by myself. I finally had to force myself to cut back to 3 cups a day because I was getting heartburn/acid reflux like a mofo. I still need to have it in the morning to get going but it's not a crutch like it used to be.
man you guys live a whole different kind of life....
i work outside, almost everyone i know works outside... no desks, no office, no fancy coffee devices. anyone that drinks coffee drinks the cheapest most easily available shit. i am not cut out to a be a city person, or be cooped up in an office all day drinking coffee.
