How much ground coffee for a oz French press?

Call it a French press, a Bodum or even the old fashioned Cafeolette.

The right grind is very important. Forget the ground to powder stuff you put into your autodrip. The press needs medium coarse and it needs uniform size to work the way it was meant to. Do not use newly roasted coffee beans either. They must be at least 3 days old so you do not get the brown sludge floating on the top (it is called bloom and appears only when you press beans ground from coffee within 2 to 3 days from use.
