Four spoons of beans is too many. 3 spoons for 16 oz.

Day 2: 6/10 brew. Grinding more (from half beans to rough) helped, but I think I need to use more beans per cup. These beans might also be getting old. The quest continues

The quest for the perfect cup of coffee begins today with a failure. Standard Stumptown whole beans, blade grinder, 18oz french press - but the beans were not finely enough ground. Coffee is weak and lacks flavor, though the body is nice.
