For drip, 10-15 seconds. Blade machines are sufficient for drip.
There is something called a burr grinder (I've seen these for as
little as $25 US, and the mechanism is simple enough that I can't
imagine spending $300 on one) which is probably better, but what you
have will do.

Coffee made in a press in great, and presses are cheap (especially on
Ebay.) But drip is extremely convenient.
