You need to use course ground, if not, the fine ground will get stuck in the metal filter or go through it into your coffee. Some grocery stores have whole beans and a grinder there where you can grind it course yourself. Or you can buy it from local coffee houses and have them grind it.
I got a black and decker blade grinder from Lowes for about $30. Its ok, not the best, but it getst the job done.
