Can you grind your own coffee beans to use in a perculator or do you need to buy already ground coffee?

Might sound like a stupid question but i only ever buy ready ground stuff and fancy grinding my own. But do you need a special coffee machine to do the own ground stuff or does an old style perculator work (my perculator was my nannas and is fom the 70’s i think – it looks well cool and retro). Also does it taste nicer when you grind your own or does it just taste the same.

Why Do Coffee Beans Need To Be Roasted?

What does roasting do for the coffee? I am thinking about juicing beans, to create a very strong cup of coffee, that does not have any burnt taste. For this I believe that I should use un-roasted green coffee beans. I have a lot of ignorance in this area though and need help and suggestions.
