I usually start at a ratio of 30g coffee per 500g water, then you can adjust from there if you feel it didn't come out the way you like.
I basically use James Hoffman's method: https://youtube.com/watch?v=st571DYYTR8 Use the same ratio, aiming at around 200 ml per cup.
That's how I came up with the starting ratio.
I usually only let mine sit for about 5 minutes. Probably, I'm too lazy and impatient for his full method. I haven't watched that video for a while, but I seem to remember that he leaves it sitting for quite a while
A point of confusion for me has always been is that 60g of beans for 1000ml of water or 60g of beans for 1000ml of desired coffee since some of the water gets trapped with the ground beans?
most recipies use coffee in and water in as coffee out varies by grind size, total volume and method.
Hey! That's just about what I do! I make it a little lighter with 40g of coffee and 20oz (591g) of water.
I use a little water to warm up the press, empty it, drop the coffee in, pour maybe 100g of water to get it going and stir then wait a minute, add the rest of the water and brew for 5 minutes, press and enjoy. It comes out just right for my taste and preference for light and medium roast Central American beans.
When I do French Press, I usually use a darker roast. But I've found that ratio to bad good starting point for a new bag of beans. Then I just adjust depending on how that first batch/cup comes out
