TIL my $22 burr grinder saved my cold brew after 4 months of gritty mason jar batches

I was grinding beans in a $15 blade grinder from Target for like 4 months and my cold brew always came out muddy and bitter no matter what ratio I used. Bought a hand burr grinder for $22 on a whim last week and the same beans, same 1:8 ratio, 18 hours in the fridge, came out way smoother with almost no sludge at the bottom. Did anyone else wait way too long to upgrade their grinder and notice this big a jump, or am I just fooling myself?
