Coffee Grind for 30 cup urn-style pot

Thanks,
I figured that it wouldn't make much sense using quality coffee. Ill just use Folgers.

Coffee Grind for 30 cup urn-style pot

Hey there-
So, I am supposed to make coffee for an office baby shower in one of those 30 cup coffee pots.

2 questions-

1.Is it worth it to buy coffee beans and grind them my self, or should I just buy a can of Folgers?

2.If I do use beans (like I do at home), how find do I grind them? Like for a french press or for a drip machine?

Thanks

MSP: Greek Yogurt?

I have seen it at Byerly's and Kowalski's too. They have the Fage brand and the other commercial one with the goats on the cup!

Acadia Cafe (msp)

Yeah, I agree that there prices aren't super cheap, but it is worth it for a good sandwich.

Acadia Cafe (msp)

They are a coffee shop-bar-restaurant-performance venue- although I like to think of it as a coffee shop. They make great sandwiches, and I can't wait to have them in the neighborhood, as I work at the U of MN.

I have never been to Keefer Court.

MSP: Chow Mein

Personally, I adore House of Wong on Larpenteur and Fernwood(?) in Roseville. They also do nice Egg Fu Young- much different than most I have seen. Theirs is a large omelet shaped item in a Chicken like gravy sauce. MMMMMMMMM

MSP pre-theatre recs?

How about Brasserie Margaux? It isn't too far. My favorite places to go in the summer are Muffuletta, and W. A. Frost. Both of there menus are pretty strong, and they have nice patios. Frosts have a great bar too!

Breakfast sausages MSP

So, Since the new Harry Potter Book comes out on Saturday Morning and all of my friends will be standing in line and then reading the book as soon as they get it- I have decided to have a big breakfast around 2 or 3 in the morning for my friends. Does any one know where I can get some delicious breakfast sausages? I really prefer the the thick, in-casing English style sausage.

Thanks

Real Cider, Scrumpy

Is there anyone in the state that makes a Good Hard Cider, or Scrumpy. I had some brilliant cider in Suffolk last year, right out of a barrel on a farm. Not pasteurized, not strained-fully delicious.

Best Dive My Side of the River MSP

So, what are the best local dives/haunts/hole in the walls in St Paul?

I keep hearing good things about Schroeders on Front. I grew up in the Roseville Area, so I am aware of Macs Fish and Chips, and Maverics, Abu Nader. Mimms.

I really prefer towny places where people even students go and hang out. I like Sweeneys!

Donuts in MSP

I am a big fan of the cake donut, So I would Suggest the Donut hut In Little Canada (Little Canada Rd 2 blocks E of Rice Street in Little Canada) and the Roseville Bakery (1147 Larpenteur Ave W)
I have never been disappointed by either of their donuts
