I recently jumped on the French Press bandwagon and have been loving life ever since.
However, I always find I end up with a lot of “grit” in my coffee; some on the bottom which I know is normal with a press, but also some on the top which makes it slightly “unappetizing” to look at and drink.
I get my beans ground from Starbucks since I can’t afford a really good grinder so I know that’s not the problem; could it be my press? I have a teeny little one (I think it’s maybe like 4 cup max) from World Market. Should I invest in a bigger/better press?
I currently use 2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 oz. of water, pour the hot water over the beans and cover with the lid of the press (but don't press); steep for 5 minutes, press, and serve immediately.
Any suggestions appreciated!!
