It will not work in this area, it is a huge busy road with constant traffic. You will get run over. If you bring a big crowd, you will cause a traffic jam as intended, but at the cost of a bunch of pedestrian lives. Is it worth dying for that? If you don't want to drive, there are buses and trains that go there.
Availability isn't the question. I'm assuming the survey question is "do you drive to work or take public transportation."
I have the ability to take a train to work, but it would take me an extra 30 minutes or so each way because I live only a minute walk from the train station, but my job is about a mile away. Also, the train costs me more than driving. I've done it, and would rather do it, but it doesn't work well enough.
I've been getting mine from freshroastedcoffee.com and I think they are the same price whole or ground. They also sell the same coffee in different grinds which is nice, because I could get coarse for the French press.
I like that store because I primarily drink decaf and theirs tastes way better than any other decafs I've tried.
I've been liking French press for years as well. I had to add an extra step recently though that has been pretty good.
I ordered a 5 lb bag of coffee, but accidentally got whole beans. A hand grinder was cheaper than replacing the coffee, so I got a cheap one and have been grinding beans every 2 or 3 days for it. I was surprised that the fresh ground beans actually taste significantly better than preground and it only takes about 15 seconds extra.
Well, most people there are...
