To pre grind or grind on the spot?!
Answers: is the differance that big when you grind right before you make espresso? i was thinking of getting a burr mill grinder for espresso making but when i look up opinions it seems that all i read are complaints. i used to just use lavazza canned espresso , i thought it was good than i got some fresh from a shop WOW what a differance!! now i ordered some beans on line , i was just gonna take it to the supermarket to grind it .is it worth it to buy my own grinder?
For sure... And burr grinders are better than blade grinders. And I do not recommend the refrigerator or freezer for storage of coffee as it may dry out the coffee. Coffee is hydroscopic and will absorb moisture and flavours very easily. If coffee is placed in a freezer the viscosity of the oils are affected altering the flavour. Store it away from heat and light.
In my opinion, YES. Store your beans in the freezer, too, well sealed against air, light, and temperature variances. Happy caffeine partaking!
yes
if want the best possible taste
you can find many inexpensive electric ones
or buy an old type hand grinder

Definitely worth it to grind your own! If you like good, high-quality fresh-tasting coffee, then grind your own. The flavor and aroma are released when grinding. The longer you wait to use the ground beans, the more the flavor will deteriorate.
The beans matter a BUNCH, too. Supermarket beans are OK, but if you're a true connoisseur of coffee, nothing beats Jamaican Blue Mountain beans in my opinion. This is the site where I get mine: http://coffeebean.com/100-Jamaican-Blue-...
I also have their espresso maker and love it: http://coffeebean.com/Capresso-Espresso-...
Yes you can try buying a grinder online.
