I've recently started drinking coffee, but it's been gas station and shitty coffee.
So, I bought myself for Christmas a french press, a grinder and an electric kettle that I can dial the perfect temperature into to the degree.
I forgot to buy beans when I went shopping this morning. So now I'm trying to find and decide on some fresh roasted beans.
Tips?

I used to be really into coffee. Now I drink Kirkland signature (whole beans) but I've always had a soft spot for lavazza and medaglio dor.
Imo the differences between beans are less pronounced in a French press, any whole bean will make a good cup. The flavors and notes really come out when you use a moka pot or espresso maker.
If you grind the beans fine enough and tamp them down, a moka pot will give you a nice crema usually.
