coffee grinder maker
Coffee novice. Do I want a French Press?
I started drinking coffee two years ago. I use a drip coffee maker at home with some pre-ground coffee from a bag, and I notice the coffee I get outside of my home is usually better. I looked into a french press before but I abandoned the idea when I read it makes a gritty coffee unless you have a great coffee grinder that leaves no dust. I'm back to wondering if I should get a french press or not since I started early morning classes again.
Do I want a french press? Would I have to get an exceptional grinder just to use it?
I have a French Press and have zero problems with gritty coffee. Any tiny grounds sink to the bottom anyway. I use a cheap spin grinder that does leave some dust that has never been a problem.
Always purchase premium coffee ie. Starbucks or even Trader Joe's if you're near a good store - they're worth it.
For everyday use I use a plastic filter cone that use paper cone filters that eliminate all grounds and dust. They 're the cheapest, last years and years and are the BEST way I find for making one cup at a time - all I need ::

*edit*
fantadragon is wrong - it's recommended that coffee be ground coarsely for a FP - not 'extremely fine' because of the small particle thing!

Why is my fresh-ground coffee so WEAK and WATERY?
I just bought a coffee grinder and some delicious-smelling Archer Farms Tanzanian Peaberry whole-bean coffee. I've had this before at a local cafe, and it was AMAZING. (Thought it quite possibly wasn't the Archer Farms variety.) But I can't replicate it here with my drip coffee maker. It's just SO weak. I tried adding 4 tsp of very fine grounds to 12 oz of water and 3 tsp of coarser grounds to the same amount with essentially the same result. Can someone offer some advice?
For a drip coffee maker with a filter, fine grind beans are what you need. But you may need to use more of them if your coffee is turning out weak. Coarse grind can't do its work in a drip machine because the water only passes through the beans briefly. They are better suited for brewing methods where the beans sit in the water for several minutes, which brings me to my next point...
If you're on a hunt for awesome coffee, your next step should be to buy a French press. Is your coffee grinder the blade type, or a burr grinder? The blade type tend to give inconsistent results, where you have fine grinds mixed in with the coarser stuff. For a French press, you need a consistent coarse grind. And only grind your beans when you're ready to use them. And despite common advice, do not store them in the fridge or freezer -- the coffee will hate you for this. Keep them at room temperature sealed in an airtight container away from sunlight.
