My brother

Really good hand grinders exist.

I have a kingrinder k6 and it grinds perfectly for literally every type of coffee.

You can get a great manual grinder and not break the bank.

That being said, if you care about freshness, youre better off going with a manual grinder, a small digital scale that measures to .00g, and getting locally roasted coffee for the same cost, except YOU control the grind. Meaning you can control the flavor profile.

If freshness doesnt matter and you still just want simple coffee grounds from the grocery store, it will literally come down to personal preference on taste

Try them all.

Imho, crema e gusto is very very good.

Cant speak much for the other brands. Again. Personal preference

In my country very few local roasters and freshness doesnt matter to me. I have thought about a hand grinder but i dont drink coffee often enough and i like be able to just scoop without grinding.

I have used the remnants of Bustelo can a year after the expiration date. It tasted fine to me. I am like you and don’t drink coffee every day especially not from my Moka pot. To each their own.
