ames, there is a long line of selection between buying beans to grind and settling for Dunkin Donuts (of all the horrible brews to mention! if you don’t mind my sharing). Go for gourmet ground coffee and you’ll never enjoy another cup of Starbucks, DD, McD’s or heaven forbid, instant coffee again!
If you decide you like the gourmet, the same coffee can be bought in the bean (i.e. not ground). That’s not even much of a switch. I personally get a shipment from a club that begins with a G and I can’t drink anything of lesser quality. I don’t roast the beans myself, though a bigger coffee nut might. I can’t stomach Turkish anymore, either.
