    Most pre-ground beans are gound for french-press/plunger/cafetiere and will be too coarse a grind for moka pot.
    You need a grind finer than french-press and slightly coarser than true espresso grind.
    You can use the Lavazza or Illy pre-ground available in most supermarkets.
    If you'd rather fresh coffee, check this thread and specify you need it ground for moka when ordering:

    I have a moka pot too.
    When I was last in Dublin I popped in Coffee Angel on South Anne Street (I think that's the street name anyway, it's the street off Grafton with Eddie Rockets on it).
    I asked the lad behind the counter what he would recommend for a moka pot and he suggested his espresso roast and he ground it to the right grind there and then. Was lovely stuff and came to around 6 euro.
    I don't know if that shop is near you op but it was nice coffee anyway

    You'll use pre-ground beans for a while but soon you will be looking for good grinders and ordering expensive beans online. This sh!t is addictive.

    All the following in the city centre sell freshly roasted beans from a number of different roasters and will grind onsite for you there and then.

    Coffee Angel on St Anne St (as per Staff Infection above)
    3FE on Lower Grand Canal St
    Fallon & Byrne on Exchequer St
    Clement & Pekoe on Sth William St

    You'll probably need to give direction to the staff on the actual grind size so follow Gran Hermano's advice.

    If you are in the suburbs let us know as there are plenty of good coffee shops around now that sell freshly roasted and will grind up the bag for you.

    Also check out the brew guide from stumptown:

    Preheating the water is key - as is taking it off the stove at the right time.

    Enjoy!
