Hi,
Im only new to the whole coffee thing.
I recently started to use a french press at home with a bag of ground coffee that I was given (and now running out of). I am now trying to work out how to keep making and drinking good coffee at home on the cheap (ie: not buying expensive machines).
I have read alot on this site and am trying to work out if I buy some roasted coffee beans if it would be ok to use a cheap little electric grinder to grind the beans for immediate use (one serve) or if I would be better off buying an expensive grinder. I gather that the grinder is fairly important but is it really going to be a problem if i dont get an even grain as I guess I just want a larger grain for the plunger.
I was also wondering about storage if I buy some whole roasted coffee beans. I dont drink a lot of coffee (yet). At the moment I was thinking that I would grind up the necessary amount for immediate use and store the beans somewhere suitable.
And something else I was wondering is the whole home roasting thing. Maybe one step at a time for me??
Any advise on getting started would be great.
Thanks
