Got my first French Press for Christmas

Awesome! Thanks for the replies. I'm excited to taste coffee brewed this way. Only had k cups for the last few years. Tired of the weak coffee.

And thanks for the detailed instructions Mark
I will start there and adjust to see the differences.

What's the deal with that sugar? Is it natural or something?

Turbinado sugar is raw sugar that is minimally processed. It will lend a carmel type of flavor to your coffee. Here's a site with more information for you:

Great present right there. My wife got me one a few years back and I dont make coffee any other way. The Keurig collects dust unless the inlaws are here. You definitly need to invest in a grinder even if its a cheap one. Buy whole beans and grind them to your liking. Thats the best way to do it. You wont be disappointed.
