I'm currently brewing something similar to press pot or French press. Fresh beans are ground to a coarse/medium grind. Boiling water is added to them in a pyrex measuring cup. I aim for 30 g of coffee to about 500 mL of water. Steep for 3 min. Pour off coffee through a fine (very fine) mesh strainer. My yield is about 400 mL. I find the coffee to be a bit cleaner than press pot but still full flavoured. Also saves me from having to get a press pot.
