Things you will need:

Conical burr grinder
Scale or measuring tbl spoon
Filtered water
Kettle
Single Origin coffee
Pour Over Tips
Try using 2-3 level table spoons per 6-8 fluid ounces of filtered water.
Grind coffee fresh at medium to fine level.
The main trick is in the pour. Bring water just to a boil in a kettle and pre-infuse coffee with a minimal amount of water. Enough to saturate coffee in the paper filter. After about 15 seconds begin pouring slowly and steadily in a spiraling manner.
You don't want to drown the coffee and you also don't want it to turn into mud. Pour in intervals so that the surface level of the brewing coffee remains relatively level and the color is rich and consistent looking.
Drink!
French Press Tips
Try using 2 table spoons of fresh, coarse ground coffee per 8 fluid oz (1 cup) of filtered water
Bring filtered water just to a boil and allow to rest for 30 seconds or so
The trick here is to make sure to completely saturate grounds when you pour your hot water
Give coffee a gentle stir and replace the plunger/lid
Start timer for 3.5 to 4 minutes
Plunge slowly and serve imediately. For a cleaner cup, try spooning off the "crust" before plunging.
Drink!
