Longer French press method I saw on YT and tried just for the hell of it.

It worked great! Like really great. Wanted to share as I was surprised. Also wonder if FP fans were already aware of this.

I regularly do this method and I don't end up with much if any grounds that are still floating after the bloom and stir. how much are you removing?

Interesting, much of my grounds stay floating, probably like 70% of total grounds idk. My grounds are probably medium coarse, slightly finer than the normal coarse grind called for with FP. Is my coffee just really floaty? Lol

Might be too coarse. I think Hoffmann recommends a much finer grind than what people normally recommend for French press, something closer to medium than anything that would be called coarse. Might be worth grinding finer and keeping everything else the same, then see what happens.
