Hi lipstix,

As far as the coffee goes.. you pretty much can use whichever brand and whichever coarseness you like. The fine the grind.. the easier it is for the coffee to dissolve in the hot water.. and to be pressed to the bottom. Obviously the more coarse the longer it takes for the coffee to dissolve, etc. I use Starbucks House or Morning blends for the flavor.. and the grind of it is "fine". I also use Tim Horton's.. and the grind of that coffee is not as "fine" as the Starbucks. So really any brand of coffee can be used.. what it will boil down to.. is how it tastes to you in the end. you may have to play with it and tweak it as to how much you use when you put the coffee in.. and as I said previous the grind of the coffee will matter as well.

For Me in the end.. I found I like the Starbucks and Tim Hortons that I mentioned above.. and also there is an old school coffee brand called 5 O'Clock coffee... that My Mom suggested I try.. so I have all three of those in My freezer and use whichever I want at any given time.

I hope once you figure out what works for you.. that you truly like how much better to coffee tastes being made with a french press. I would never go back to any other way of preparing it.. besides I like the ritual of it as well.

Take Care
Jake
