More good news for us.
I don't know what is with the editor of this site. He always makes his headlines sound dire. Like you are going to find out that coffee causes kidney stones. but the study says, " regular coffee consumption reduces the risk of kidney stone formation."

I had this one this morning…they use the Swiss water method
I mixed it with my Peet’s/espresso blend and I’m surprised at how flavorless it was. It really weakened that bold taste. Also surprising for a french roast. I’m glad I didn’t try it straight if I would not have enjoyed it at all.

So you blend the three together? I love doing that. I use Peets or major Dickinson or Starbucks Verona/sumatra and blend one of those with an espresso.Well, the first thing I drink is a big glass of water, but then straight to a big mug of coffee!That looks like a bowl of coffee....
I've been buying Aldi fair trade coffees and have come up with a blend I really really love. Equal parts of the Columbian, Sumatra, and German Roast.
I didn’t think to look for coffee at Aldi when I was there. I will next time.
Tomorrow I will try the kicking horse only I bought whole beans instead of ground. I HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS!!! I have a grinder but I never know how long to grind the beans for. So annoying. 
And I’ll need to remember to grind the night before because I can’t use the grinder at 5 am. It’s loud!

If you're making drip coffee, you need a very fine grind. If making French press it's got to be slightly coarse. I usually grind beans for 3 or 4 days and place the ground coffee into an airtight container and keep in the fridge. Some say that coffee shouldn't be stored in the latter but I find that it's stays fresher that way.
I like keeping ground coffee in the refrigerator.
And I will definitely grind a few days worth. It would be too torturous to do it every day. I wish I had a professional grinder where you can adjust the settings for the grind you want. Or even if I had the nerve to take it somewhere and ask them to grind it for me but that will never happen haha.

My grinder is pretty small but when I grind coffee or flax seed I grind enough to fill a one- cup container.
you might want to check your grinder's instructions or web site for some tips. I've never counted (maybe I should) but I just pulse my grinder and keep looking at the grounds. In between pulses I shake it up a little to make sure the grind is even. I go for a medium grind and its not hard to estimate by eye.
I'm going to give you one or two links that I have found helpful.

oh that looks like a nice one.
I wish mine had a "removable chamber"
so the programable grind settings are automatic?
It's not that expensive - the fancier ones are twice the price
I have a really small Krupps. I couldn't find it online - its pretty old. but it still works. Nowadays I grind my coffee beans before I leave Trader Joe's. And just use the grinder for things like flax seed.
I tried unsweetened Wunda ( pea protein milk) with coffee and it is by far my favourite pb milk after hazelnut. It doesn't curdle or alter the taste
