I agree; I have a french press and a Mypressi Twist for espresso. Anything more "automatic" than those and you start to lose control over key variables.

This I don't get. You describe the need to get a decent conical burr grinder (a must) but then go on to say the above. "Good beans" and "Costco" and/or "Starbucks" and/or "Kirkland" do not belong in the same sentence. The amount of time those beans sit in the bag after roasting is borderline ridiculous. Suppose it is one step above pre-ground coffees......
Get some freshly roasted coffee (locally or at least in Canada), stick to something roasted within the last 2 weeks, and freeze what you can't use in the upcoming week.
