Most of us rise in the mornings having either a cup of coffee or Tea.
When making Coffee I have experienced that grinding the coffee fresh before you brew, will give you the experience of a more fresh taste of coffee. It appears that oxidation begins immediately and flavors will degrade noticeably in just a few hours. When shopping for a grinder, there are burr grinders and blade grinders. Blade grinders are the most common and the least expensive.
When using a blade grinder it's important to grind in small bursts of a few seconds at a time to prevent heat from building up and then causing burning the grounds.
Fitting the grid size to the brewing is about how much of the coffee surface is exposed to the water which desirable flavors come out first in the brewing, while the bitterness and other undesirables come out later, especially if the coffee is brewed too long. If you use course grinds they seem to be suited to a French Press style coffee maker because they let the water and the coffee steep together. When you are using medium or fine these work more efficiently with drip coffee makers. Fine and super fine are best when making espresso, reason being it that the water is being pushed through the grinds fairly quickly.
I have heard people talk about using cinnamon in the coffee for added flavor
