Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. It is well documented that Jesus drank wine. That does not imply that he didn't drink water, beer, or any other drink extant at the time.
(I agree that coffee was not drunk in the 1st century C.E.)

I just eat them whole. The chocolate-covered ones.

I'm not the one to ask.
The only coffee I've ever had in my life* is the whole grain, chocolate-covered.
[*] I'm not even joking. I suspect I'm the type that - if I started - would drink 6 a day. So I'd rather not know what I'm missing.

It looks like the size of coffee grounds does not depend on the origin or quality, but on the usage you make of it:
Coffee Grind Chart- Which Grind for Different Coffee Makers | GROSCHE[^]
COPILOT tends to confirm:
The best grind size for coffee generally depends more on the brewing method than the origin of the beans. However, the origin and roast level of the beans can influence the optimal grind size to some extent:
Light Roasts: These beans often benefit from a finer grind, which helps to extract their more delicate and complex flavors1.
Medium Roasts: A medium grind is usually ideal, balancing the extraction to bring out a fuller body and balanced flavor1.
Dark Roasts: These beans are typically ground more coarsely to avoid over-extraction, which can lead to a bitter taste1.
While the grind size is crucial for achieving the best flavor, it’s also important to consider other factors like water temperature, brewing time, and coffee-to-water ratio23.

For my wife, I open the can of Folgers.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

I just chew the beans and spit them in a cup, then pour hot water over them.

For paper baskets it's a 4 on my grinder. For brass filters it's a 3 (a bit courser, like for a french press)
If you want a Americanism:
At Starbucks if you ask for flat bottom grind you get a paper filter grind.
You ask for a course grind for a french press or brass filter.
Took me forever to figure that out.

Not drinking coffee I just figured the only 'grinding' involved might be when they pull up to a drive through to grab a coffee and their car needs some work.

What is 'American coffee'? Do you mean drip/filter coffee?

Yep, that's how we call it (the technical name would be "caffè percolato" but percolato is also the liquid that forms on the bottom of thrash bags, if we say "caffè per percolazione" it's even worse because it sounds like "caffè per colazione", aka coffee for breakfast).

I won't make the obvious statement in regards to American coffee... (yes, I'm feeling homesick for Melbourne at the moment...)

Only because I never would've imagined I'd watch a random YouTuber with any sort of fervor...
Look for James Hoffman.
That dude... he knows coffee.
Edit:
What I know (from watching that guy most likely) -
It is really going to depend a bunch on the coffee itself. A coarser grind can maybe minimize undesirable elements with the trade off of not getting as much extraction and so requiring either more beans or acceptably milder flavor.

Whatever is in can that's on sale, that's my grind.

I decided not to vote this election, mainly due to despair at the Tories' failure to run a proper Conservative government. The alternatives are too awful to contemplate and we all know what is in store for us over the next five years. I doubt that my X will be missed.

Apathy is the main problem over here Richard - the current government's track record is beyond appalling , Liz Truss should be in the tower with Boris - oops just remembered the no politics in the lounge rule.

You're lucky living where you do. Down here in Surrey prices never seem to stop rising.

Apathy seems to be the main problem in the USA too. People are too busy with tik tok to worry about little things like the future of the country.
The difficult we do right away...

Isn't there an option called NOTA (None Of The Above) on the ballot paper? We have such an option in India.
Once NOTA gets above a certain threshold percentage of the votes, then there will be re election (hopefully with a different set of candidates).
|
|
|
|
|
Not here. You can actually spoil your ballot by writing such on the paper, or vote for every candidate. But that does not have any real effect on the outcome.

Was introduced in India about 10 years ago, as an electoral reform. Not sure whether it has made any big difference till now. But at least, there's such a choice for the voter.
The Constitution of India allows any citizen to contest, and it is interesting to see that a number of candidates get lesser than NOTA itself.
|
|
|
|
|
In fact, in some cases, NOTA came in second!

I didn't know you had that in India - very sensible.
