Dag, old son! You have chosen wisely...

Except for starting with the lot 27. Everything after that might be a disappointment.

The suspense is just building!!!!
I started my JOURNEY with a pressed cup of ARICHA...
I think I will add another scoop to the 1 cup bodum press in the morning.
The coffee was complex and WONDERFUL tasting.
I made it with the coarsest setting on the Capressa Infinity burr grinder.
I put one and 1/2 spoons of the grind.
It was an experience just smelling the freshly ground ARICHA.
HOT water ~ 195 degree f.

With this I had a Rocky Patel EDGE missile Coroja..
WOW!!!
What a combination.
This was a piece of heaven!
I have had no better smoke than this..
Many other GREAT smokes and this EDGE MISSILE is one of them.

A typical starting point for press coffee is one tablespoon of med/coarse coffee per four ounces of water. Adjust to taste from there.

Multiply the size of your French Press in ounces by 0.057. This is the weight of the coffee you should be using, in ounces. I round up. It's an easy piece of math if you have a calculator, and you only have to do it once, ever.

Get a small kitchen scale. Use it for this once, and then you'll be able to eyeball it forever.

Have at it.
