    You’ll want a coarsely ground coffee. Make sure any coffee grinder you use is of excellent quality. If you have a very fine or a mixed size of grounds, then your coffee won’t turn out so great. The finer the grind, the harder it will be to press down, the more cloudy your coffee will be, and the more sludge you’ll have at the bottom of your cup.

    To find coarse-ground coffee, you can either go to a coffee store that sells beans and grinds them for you, or you can go to a large grocery store. Most have a coffee grinder at the coffee beans and you can choose the fineness of the grind there. Choose the most coarse grind.

    medium to coarse grind. no more than 5 minutes. i’d recommend about 3 minutes. any more than 5 and you’ve got some really bitter coffee.

    agreed on the above, but give it a quick stir after you pour in the boiling water.
