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 (?)

That's how I came up with the starting ratio.

I usually only let mine sit for about 5 minutes. Probably, I'm too lazy and impatient for his full method. I haven't watched that video for a while, but I seem to remember that he leaves it sitting for quite a while
