I use mine every morning and afternoon as well. I often use a normal grinder just do it coarser but if you really like ground beans you can just request a french press grind and any shop will grind it correctly. As others said unless you get into the espresso world and can throw down the $300 for a nice grinder just stick to the good 'ol cheapie. Speaking of Espresso that's my gift this year eventually. I'll use some money I got for christmas and I'm getting a Rancilio Silvia and the Rocky. I can't wait!!!
