What is the proper grind for a french press?

This has been already discussed somewhere, try to search forum.

It's better to try different settings on a grinder if the grinds seem excessive or low to you. With a french press you will always have small amount of grind in your cup, however it should not be noticeable until you finish the cup.

Yes, I noticed some dust at the botom of my cup and I thought I added too much grind. When I took the smaller amount of grind, my coffee was awful.

Because of the sediment you need a coarser grind than you would with a\r\n brewer. You will also have to adjust the amount of coffee you use.

\r\n\r\nWhat grinder can make coarser grind?

Any burr grinder is adjustable from fine to course.

Burr grinders seem rather expensive, don't they?

\r\n\r\nWhat do you consider expensive?\r\nA good burr grinder can be had for around $50. I picked up a nice\r\n DeLonghi on sale for $35. I've had it for almost 3 years and use it almost\r\n every day.\r\nFor me, if your serious about your coffee you get fresh roasted beans and\r\n a good grinder and enjoy your coffee.\r\nIf you don't care, go to the store and buy pre-ground , $3 a pound stale\r\n coffee and enjoy.
