French Press without my own grinder

#1 (**permalink**) 03-07-2005, 09:06 PM

I'd like to try french press coffee without buying my own grinder at
first. The supermarket has a coffee grinder, which I assume can grind
coarse enough for french press. But I read that ground coffee is only
good for a couple of hours? Is this true? So if I buy even the smallest
bag of coffee, I can make a few cups and then I have to throw the rest
of it away?

Why not just try it yourself and see what works for you?
Heck, you may be able to keep ground coffee a week or more.
Who knows.
