Anybody know where I can buy an electric coffee grinder in Korea?

Starbucks.
The black ones are 31,000 won and the brushed stainless steel ones are 39,000 won.

How about ground (100% Arabica) coffee powder? Is that available in Starbucks to purchase? I bought my percolater here with me but haven't had a chance to use it yet. The coffee MUST be 100% arabica, I am pretty fussy about that.

For some (such as myself) the issue boils down to pure laziness. I actually have a hand-grinder, but on those days when I actually have the leisure to brew up a pot of coffee, I can't get past the *insurmountable* pyschological barrier of spending 45 seconds of my precious 'sittin' around time' grinding the beans. Of course, this means no coffee for me.

Edit: Forgot to mention the tedium of walking ALL the way over to the kitchen, pouring the water in the kettle, getting the damn stove lit (have to use a lit toothpick to get it started,) waiting for the damn water to boil, grasping well-nigh scalding handle of the pot and pouring the water into the french press. The anticipation alone is enough to exhaust me for the entire day. And this is all assuming there are clean coffee mugs. Don't even get me started on the dishes. No, all in all, this coffee business can often be far too much for a hungover Thunndarr on a Saturday morning.

Get yourself a mini blender - it'll grind your coffee and you can also use it to make smoothies. Try it with some frozen fruit and yoghurt on those hot summer days.
