Agreed. A uniform and consistent grind is one of the most important steps, instead of the dust and chunks results from worthless blade "grinders". A Mazzer is nice for the bling, but there are perfectly capable burr grinders for much less.

I don't bother with home roasting, but instead order from Intelligentisia. Beans are almost always roasted that same day, and at my door the next day.
