A warning though, I do like my coffee on the rich side, so I will give you a light , medium and Coffeeken measurments.

The coffee scoop that I use is a 1/8 cup measurement or 30ml of whole beans and I do not level the cup, it is rounded, that makes up the difference when you grind the beans.

Next, set your coffee grinder on the largest grind that it has.

Then start measuring out the amount of beans that you will need and put into the hopper of the grinder, be it a cone, burr or blade grinder

3 cup press, 12 oz, or 300 ml
Light: 2 scoops level, or 60 ml of whole beans.

Grind your beans, put the coffee grounds in the french press, heat your water to almost a boil, pour your water in, let is steep for 4 minutes break the bloom after 2-3 minutes has gone by, gently push the press down and enjoy!
