When we we remodeled our kitchen we put in a coffee bar. I really like my Barrattza sette 270 grinder. I got it directly from their site in the return section. Sometimes they have really good deals there. The nice thing about it is once you get it dialed in, it is super repeatable. When you change beans it is pretty easy to adjust to a near perfect puck. It also has a direct feed system so it requires very little maintenance.

I've had my Rancillio for probably 10 yrs and it pumps out great espresso every day. With this set up, making a near perfect cappuccino doesn't take much more time than a drip pot in the morning.

I'm partial to Counter Culture beans. They are single lot roasters so the farms they source from rotate throughout the year.

It is kind of fun to get the different tastes from the locality, the drying method, the time of year, etc. They do a pretty good job describing what you're in for with each lot so you can pick and choose to your taste. My go to "standard" is their big trouble. Makes a great espresso with lots of crema
And funny, I looked at my knives after the discussion above and realize my block holds them sideways
