Proceed by the numbers.

1. You will recon a local roaster or, as another said, try finding fresh roast at a Whole Foods; acquire very decent bulk, fresh coffees from stock.
2. You will grind it medium-coarse at the store if you don't want more kit in the barracks.
3. Double-time to supply and glom on to a 1-liter Bodum french press.
4. Prepare better coffee according to news regs (pour water at 205*F, stir, wait 4-min. and press) and be properly amazed.
5. Exploit local knowledge of best beans from-, and local resources for, Dominican coffee. Do this with respect for:
a. your heritage;
b. honoring your parents next visit;
c. the opportunity to know excellent coffee; and
d. to further your education - all at extremely low cost.

Merry Christmas.
And all the seasons blessings on you and yours for your service.
As you were.
Carry on.
