What grind type should I use?

I use the auto drip grind. Whatever you'd use for your regular automatic drip coffee maker. Seems to work fine.

Espresso grind, but don't pack the coffee in like you would in an espresso maker.

All depends on your brewing method. Regular autodrip (think Mr. Coffee style maker) use medium grind. French Press and Percolators need a coarse grind. Espresso machines need a fine grind.

Whatever leads to the coffee you personally prefer. Thus some initial experimentation is in order. A very fine grind is recommended, such as an espresso grind for a commercial coffee mill. That would be a good place to start, then adjust from there. Of course it's also a function of the temperature of the extracting water as well as the dwell time of the slurry before extraction.

I use drip grind coffee which is recommended. Folgers shoud be fine. If your local market has a selection of coffee beans that you can grind there.. you will get the freshest coffee, just remember to keep the bag sealed tight to keep it fresh longer.This assumes you are using a reusable k cup or k cup compatable brewer.

That is rather a subjective thing. I've been using any of Peet's standard ground Deep Roast coffee. It is pretty fine a grind.

Do not recommend - buy grinder, face shield, and gloves. Use shield that comes with most grinders. Read instructions, and practice using tool before attempting actual job.

You can use any kind of coffee, just grind it fine for expresso or buy espresso ground type.

I use Costco Columbian whole beans, which is a medium roast. Then grind only as much as I use for a day.

I use a medium grind. I prefer Peet's coffee and buy it from the grocery already ground and that consistency always works well. I prefer a strong cup of coffee so I add a bit more than I do when brewing for guests.

The finer the grind the stronger you coffee will be. I'd start with a medium fine and them adjust from there to your taste. If using a finer grind don't pack the grounds in too firm as the water won't be able to run through. I've also found the baristas at Starbucks to be very helpful when it come to grinding and brewing coffee.

Grinder would be fine. For sandblasting you need a very large volume of continuous air. My old 5HP could not handle my blast cabinet. For that I needed to go with an IR 240v 7hp 80-gallon compressor like this one: Ingersoll Rand Co IR45465408 7.5 Horse Power Air Compressor Model 2475N7.5-V

I'd say conical. The pieces look very similar to the image under the heading "Vintage Hand Conical Burr Grinders" at http://vintagecoffeegrinders.com/

Yes. Course grind. If you want to reduce to flour consistency, I would use ceramic with broad pestle

It depends on how fine you want to grind it. The dual blade coarse grinds and I mostly use it for coffee and nuts. I use the four blades for spices when I want something finely ground. I hope this helps.

I use the Illy Express grind and it make delicious coffee. I use both regular and decaf.

I use percolator or any grind really or grind my own. But you find a fine grind will pack or filter through the holes and lead to a bitter taste. So course grinds are better and lead to better basket retention. That what's nice, no filters and stronger so you can use less coffee. And they are a lot faster to brew. Good luck. I ended up getting two sizes, small for nights after work, and larger on weekends.
