Generally, I buy French Roast [homegrounds.co] beans, grind them once in a burr grinder [coffeedetective.com], then grind it even finer with a blade grinder. I do this because the consumer grinders I've found won't grind coffee fine enough for my taste.
I used to use just a blade grinder, but the wear from grinding it in just the one grinder would burn out the motor in less than a year.
I do use an electric drip coffee maker, but I will on occasion, go all out and make turkish coffee [wikipedia.org].
Regardless, I use *whole* milk in my coffee. Half and half is okay, as is heavy cream, but I prefer whole milk. All that 2%/1%/Skim crap just turns the coffee a nasty gray color and doesn't mediate the bitter notes as well as Whole milk/H&H/cream.
And no sugar or other sweeteners. Because I'm sweet enough already.

Eh, just do a little DIY and replace the motor in it with a half horse DC motor. That should last longer than the blades, even at my use levels. Or get a hand crank grinder, replace the handle with a pulley, and run a belt to the half horse motor. You'll get a much more consistent grind out of hand crank grinders.

Unfortunately, the only grinder I've found that will grind coffee as fine as I like it [bunn.com] costs ~US$1,000.

My rights don't end where your fear begins.
