I used to just dump grounds in a filter and hit brew... now I weigh beans and time the pour like it's a science experiment.

Honestly, that's the rabbit hole (and it's a fun one). Next you'll be checking water temperature and fussing over grind size, which actually makes a huge difference. It's a little ridiculous but the coffee is so much better.

My old drip machine with pre-ground coffee still makes a great cup in under five minutes.

That rabbit hole sounds like a lot of work for a cup of coffee. Honestly, just using fresh beans and a decent machine gets me 90% of the way there without all the fuss. The extra steps seem to have a pretty small payoff for the time they take.
