Like the title says I was gifted some pre-ground coffee by relatives that visited Brazil. This coffee is pre-ground and is finer than anything I’ve seen. Seriously, it looks like powered sugar!

My usual brewing method is a pour over, but it is so fine the water doesn’t filter through.

My backup method has been a french press and it works, but not ideal as it tends to over extract.

Any suggestion from the community (that don’t involve buying an espresso machine, that plan was already veto’d by my spouse…)?

An Aeropress, Moka Pot or a Vietnamese Phin Filter are other cheap alternatives to try. But if you're overextracting in a French Press you might be doing something wrong with the brew time and/or the temperature.

It'd also help to know how darkly roasted it is and what type of beans they are.
