I'm planning on buying pic related. What beans can I buy off amazon to make good press coffee? I tend to prefer lighter roasts at cafe's.

you have to roast the beans yourself. i've heard of people using air pop popcorn machines for this

Get a burr grinder instead of that blade grinder. I used that same thing for years and the burr grinder was a huge leap towards an actually great cup of coffee. Use the blade for spices or whatever.
If you get a good grinder you can adjust the grind settings and really perfect your brew. I've got the Baratza Virtuoso and it's pretty great, easy to change between my clever dripper, press, and drip. They also make a cheaper version called the Encore that's pretty well recommended, and you can upgrade the burr set to equal out to the Virtuoso. Or go for a hand grinder if you want to go even cheaper.
Also look at getting a simple gram scale to measure out the coffee and water. Volumetric measurements are for assholes. American Weigh Scales SC-2kg is like twenty bucks and it's fantastic.
>air popper
This is a thing. You might want to wait to get into roasting the beans yourself though. Do you have a local coffee place you can check out?

>burr grinders start at 120 CAD
I like coffee but I don't know if I like coffee that much. Are any of the sub $25 hand grinders here any good?
>Do you have a local coffee place you can check out?
Yeah I might see what they have as far as beans go.

The cheap hand grinders are pretty awful. The burrs are usually a cheap plastic on a thin post that bends as the beans pass through. Its almost impossible to get a consistant grind with them.

So then what is my best option if I have $30 to spend?

the hario mini mill

I have that same exact grinder, OP. I wouldn't recommend getting it, it's not very good.

look up Colombian coffee, user. rated as one of the smoothest and most fragrant coffees in existence, if not *the* smoothest and best. so far it is my favorite and i look forward to it every morning. i grind my beans right before they hit the hot water. seriously, just do a quick jewgle search now.
there's a reason why Colombia is the #1 producer of cocaine, their climate is perfect for growing these types of stimulant-rich plants.
