BestBuy [bestbuy.com] has the Breville Smart Grinder Pro on sale for 159.99 when you use coupon code SAVEONSMALLSNOW.
One of the lowest prices I've seen recently when comparing it to Amazon and other places over time.
This grinder is great for anything from espresso to drip coffee for the beginner coffee snob. I know many people prefer the Baratza Encore or Virtuoso refurb in this price range, but how it looks on my countertop was important to me and this one looks really sleek compared to those options.

After salivating over this grinder for months, I picked one up a couple weeks ago for $184 flat and can't even get coarse enough to do a V60/pourover, even though there are (technically) 600 grind steps and Breville's webpage for this product falsely states it's good for "the coarsest french press." Breville has confirmed to me personally that this would only be good for espresso/autodrip.
Good grinder with a couple caveats, but apparently not one of the favourites among coffee snobs I've spoken to lately. I'm only stuck on finding a way to keep it because it looks beautiful on my counter.
Really what you need is the right high temperature water, a really consistently ground coffee that is freshly roasted and preferably ground right before brewing, and then you can pick the method that best suits you like drip or pour over or espresso ($$$).
Getting all this right and consistent is the hard part.
The best thing you can do if you can if you want a good coffee from a drip coffee maker is get something that is SCAA certified (which means it will heat the water to the proper temperature and brew it correctly, Bonavita is the lower cost choice for these) and a good low-cost grinder to start like this one or anything from Baratza or the Capresso Infinity.
You can get the Bonavita for $100 and a refurbished Baratza Encore grinder for $100 or a Capresso Infinity from Costco for $80 (so under $200 got everything).
Grind your own beans and brew them with a good brewer and you'll significantly improve the quality of your coffee. Then go from there.
Edit: There's a lot of other things and methods you can use that are cheaper, but I think staying with a drip brewer and simple grinder is a good way to start getting something really good compared to what you may be used to making a home.

If you mostly do espresso and drip and your drip isn't using extremely dark beans, this thing is great.

But what struck me is that it is kind of comically large, and the LED screen is always on, which strikes me as silly for a coffee grinder. I didn't want another appliance with a constantly glowing screen in my kitchen. I get it -- it's super-fancy and has a gazillion settings. But the whole thing felt like overkill. (Not intending this to be a threadcrap... If you want it, get it. I was in your shoes, and this is a good price. But the size and glow are worth mentioning. I'd also suggest heeding the warnings about its shortcomings for course grinding -- at this price point, I think a grinder should be competent at course and espresso grinds, if not ultra fine. Durability might be yet another concern -- the buzz is that these tend to wear down.)

I wholeheartedly agree re:course grinding. I've had this grinder for years. Absolutely love it, but even at the most course setting, it's still pretty fine. This is a great price point.
It works on this one. I bought one and have it at home now.
The reddit coffee forum is a good place to look, but there is a ton too it. Grinders can go into the thousand dollar range and there are tons of brew methods and theories.
