Another of my favorite coffee beans for the French Press is the Peet's Coffee Major Dickason's Blend. Peet's are known for their flavorful dark roasts - it's what they do best. Specialty coffee roaster Peet's Coffee is based in San Francisco Bay. The company has been producing coffee since its foundation in California in 1966.
The resulting coffee was so much better than my previous attempts, more distinct flavor notes with no bitterness or acidity. Totally justifies my purchase of the Comandante C40. So the lesson of the story, don't skimp on your coffee grinder! It's probably the single most important factor of brewing good coffee aside from getting good beans.
