Hi, guys.
I mentioned in another thread that I just got some french presses. So far, they make fantastic coffee. One is a Bodum Chambord, and the other is the Brazil. The directions that come with the Bodum FPs say to use one scoop (2 tablespoons) of grounds for every 4 oz of water. However, almost all of the usually coffee brewing methods I have seen call for 2 Tablespoons for every 6 oz of water.
I've been following the Bodum directions so far, 1 coffee scooper for every 4 oz, and its been pretty good. I tried it with 1/6oz, and it seemed a little weak. I even got my nerd on and marked measurement lines on the carafe with a sharpie, so I wouldn't have to waste time measuring out water since I don't usually make a full carafe.
So.... which do you use in your FP?
