I'm trying to branch out from my normal coffee routine of pour over in a Bonavita porcelain clever.
I've been trying french press for the past week and have experimented with several grind and coffee/water ratios. Today was a dark organic french from Whole Foods, ground on the french press dial using the Bunn grinder at the store, at a 1:15 coffee/ratio with water at 205 degrees. I used the method similar to this:
Where he scoops off the grinds before pressing. I ended up with this in my cup:
Which is just too fucking muddy for me. I suppose I've gotten spoiled with my cleaner cups from the clever style coffee. Suggestions on what I'm doing wrong are welcome.
