				| Maybe tell them what kind of coffee maker you'll be using?  It's worked for me as most know the names. |

				You sound like such a coffee snob, I love it. but anyway I use Google translation a lot, like for everything. My bank, doctor and dentist have all been very impressed with the sheets of paper I've handed them with Google translation.    |

				| A real coffee snob grinds his or her own right before brewing.  A French Press gives you the full flavor of the bean and the beans should be ground rather coursely for this method.  Water at 100 degrees Celsius, Brew for 4 minutes before pressing the plunger down. |

100 degrees? Blasphemy!
 
 
To the OP, I doubt normal stores have such a large variation of coarseness. If it's that important for you I would also suggest you buy your own grinder as it will make a bigger difference. |
