Hello friendslist,

I need your help! I accidentally bought a bag of coffee beans instead of ground coffee (these things can happen whilst wondering around in an undercaffeinated daze), and now I wonder if grinding my own beans (that sounds filthy somehow. Um. Maybe I'm just a pervert.) would actually be a good idea. Do any of you practice this habit? Would you recommend it? How does it contribute to your coffee experience? What brands of coffee grinders would you suggest? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Can you tell me the brand/name of your electric grinder (okay, yes, that sounds utterly filthy)? The manual one looks lovely (in fact, I've got a feeling that my mother owns just such a one from early 20th century), but I don't think I could acquire one easily.

I don't tend to worry about the freshness since I use approximately one package per week - it doesn't have time to grow old. ;)
