My French press is also a 32 oz. unit. I put about a half cup of beans, usually french or italian roast, sometimes espresso into the grinder, not sure of the volume after grinding. Feel free to suggest a Captain Obvious costume for Halloween, but usually in the morning when I am making coffee it is in the morning before I've had my coffee. Measurements under such conditions could be a bit suspect.

I could give you a weight measurement, but my little scale is down at the shop where I've been working on getting some connecting rods balanced. I just need to get another scale so I can have one at each place.

Another thing, how long are you letting it steep? I usually go 3 - 4 minutes, sometimes depending on circumstances maybe 10. I find that when I get sidetracked and don't come back to press until 15 minutes or so that there is some unwanted bitterness and off flavors to be had.

Mind you I usually drink it anyway, I only dump out and start over maybe 2, 3 times a year.
