There's an Eritrean guy near me who sells Ethiopian beans although what he sells isn't particularly fruity. I pick up a pound from him once in a while.

I use Chemex. I typically put a small dash of salt in the grounds. Sometimes I put cardamon in the grounds as well for a poor man's Turkish coffee.

Question from a French Press newbie: What ratio of ground coffee to boiling water should I be using?

That's super opinionated, but it's nearly impossible to screw it up the first time. Adjust up amd down.

I used about 1/3 of a grinder cup to a full press of water, which was about 25 ounces.

I'm reversing which side of the ratio is which, but somewhere between 16-17.5:1.
