I'm going to have a small French press for my coffee, as I've spent a little more than I wanted to on my first hand grinder so I'll be saving my pennies for a good while. What's your preferred ratio of water to coffee when making a French press? What's your technique for brewing? I prefer a light roast, if that matters (?)

When I do French Press, I usually use a darker roast. But I've found that ratio to bad good starting point for a new bag of beans. Then I just adjust depending on how that first batch/cup comes out
