Pods are not great for many reasons including coffee quality. Coffee loses its flavors quickly after ground. The pod you bought are typically ground more than 2 weeks ago.
Grinding your own beans is the next step up in enjoying better coffee flavors. People buy roasted beans, grind it only when they plan to use it.
You could use a manual grinder or electric grinder. Be aware that electric grinder at the same price range is worse than the manual grinder. So if you don't mind a bit of exercise, I would recommend getting a manual grinder at this price instead.
Manual grinder clean up is a much better experience than electric. You'll be surprised how messy cheap electric grinder could be.
