Hi there! I just discovered your account, and it's great to have a pro in the #caffeineclub.
I have been a French press devoteé for many years, but I'm a bit frugal. I tend to brew at a ratio closer to 1:20 rather than the typically recommended 1:16. I'm typically drinking lighter roasts (I'm an especially huge fan of Ethiopians) and to get a little bit more out of the smaller quantity I brew for a full 5 minutes after the initial 30 second bloom.

BTW, this is what I'm drinking now:

This is next - I've had it before and it's excellent.

What I'm wondering if this is a bit backwards, and if the longer brew time is actually masking the fruity flavors in the roast I'm buying.
I know the correct answer is to just reduce my water if I don't want to go through my beans so fast...
