Notes:
- Don't plunge until the bottom, let the coffee grounds sink and only use the plunger as a strainer.
- Coffees brewed with French Press tend to be muddy, you may use a paper filter when transferring to another carafe/cup to eliminate finer coffee particles.
- If the brew is too sour, set your grind size finer.
- If the brew is too bitter, set your grind size coarser.
