What are the best coffee beans to grind for french press coffee?

Find a local roaster. Buy them freshly roasted.

This is more important than the brand.

Specialty store- central market, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's

What I do is just find a local coffee shop I like and they will sell you bulk beans.

I am talking damn good. I don't want to be able to buy it at Wal Mart or some shite.

Congregation Coffee Gallup Blend (out of New Orleans) was great. It is meant as an espresso blend. I have an aeropress and used that with it. Coffee was incredible. That stuff will keep you wired, however.

Once i ran out, i got some Cafaciteaux Malawi blend and it is pretty damn good as well.

This. Or go to a local coffee shop that roasts or has the date printed on their bag and buy them.

If you are stuck with the grocery store, I like Peets.

Do you like Cafe Brazil?

They have them all over DFW. Closest to you is most likely Coit and Bush next to central market

I buy their Bourbon Pecan.

I love good fresh roasted Sumatra beans.

Chemex uses a paper filter, so the resulting coffee is less muddy/cleaner tasting than french press. But to each his own--you should brew it the way you like. My personal preference is to use a stovetop moka pot; some object b/c they think it tastes "stewed".

Coffee geeks are as bad (worse?) than beer geeks, only highly caffeinated to go along w/their opinions. (No hops to mellow anyone out.)

Ethiopian coffee is the best origin. They're the OGs of the coffee world

While I like a pour over fine, I prefer the mouth-feel/texture of French Press for exactly that reason. Takes all types
