Edit: You did say ground coffee. These are whole bean, but I think you can grind them there. Spend $150 and get a nice burr grinder and spend a bit more on a good French press. I recommend Espro, it's thermal. Life changing.
Good point for clarification. I was thinking "ground" as brewed coffee vs espresso machine based. I have a cheaper burr grinder I use sometimes, but I used to get whole bean Sumatra and let SB grind it. There's a Trader Joe's not too far from me so I'll check those out. Interestingly, they (TJ's) wanted to build a new store here in GSO but the locals near the proposed site protested.

What's a "good French press"? I'm on my third or fourth Bodum as I tend to crack the glass every few years.

Thanks
