30 g coarse coffee, 500 g water, 4 minutes, plunge slow, decant
You will brew two cups in a press: coarse grind like sea salt, 1:16.7, a bloom, a 4:00 steep, a slow plunge, and pour it all out so it doesn't keep extracting into sludge. Immersion, not espresso.

Weigh 30 g. Grind coarse — distinct particles, not dust. If you only have a blade grinder, pulse and shake; accept some grit or buy a $30 hand burr.
Preheat the press with hot water, dump it. A cold glass sucks heat and under-extracts.
