Gunny, when you find your small local, which are your "collectibles and gift stores" most of the time, you can have the beans ground when you purchase. Since you are not "coffee drinkers" yet, so-to-speak, I would suggest some of the lower acidity beans, such as your Kenya AA, Tanzanian, or even Guatemalan. Now once you get so far in that you are naming coffees by region, that's when the sllliiiiiiiddddddeeee starts. Hahahahaha.
