Maybe I should buy my own green beans, roast and grind them myself.
Hey, I think I could get into this coffee thing after all.

Thats the spirit!
You may be describing a "burr" coffe grinder. These are required for uniformity in fine espresso machine grinds. However, a small $12.00 blender style will work perfect for most standard coffee makers. Roasting your own beans requires alot of trail and error - but people have tweaked roasters and popcorn poppers of all kinds to do just that. I figure getting day old beans locally is better - plus I simply do not have the hours required to test roast.
I buy the finest dark roasted Columbian beans for little more than the green bean price. If someone wants, I will hook you up to Omega Coffee - my local roaster. Kenny is a fine Christian man and he will send out a few pounds at reasonable rates.
