Getting into Coffee

Ok, so I went out and got a few items to start my new obsession:

- Bodum Brazil French Press (cheap model $15)
- Tea Kettle (hard to believe I didn't own one yet, huh?)
- DeLonghi Coffee Mill (burr grinder, Costco, $25!)
- 1/2 lb Starbucks Whole Bean Verona Blend ($6)

I realize this is definitely on the cheap, but man I can make a pretty decent cup of coffee now, at least compared to what I was used to. I'm not ready to roast yet, but this is a big step forward.

Now the questions (TIA):

1) Any comments on the above hardware or software?
2) How should I store whole roasted beans?
3) How should I clean ground bits from between the strainer ring and filter material on the Bodum? Kind of gets stuck there...
4) Where should I buy whole beans from?

Thanks a ton, coffee gurus!
