title_body: How can I minimize the amount of grounds at the bottom of my French press coffee?
upvoted_answer: I have the same problem, and these things definitely reduce it:
  
  
  Grind more coarsely. Blade grinders are incapable of really doing this—they give you boulders and powder. But I've never been satisfied with the taste when I use coarse grounds— it's weak and lacks body.
  Make sure the screen fits well and no grounds are squirting along the sides
  Press gently, don't force it down with a lot of pressure
  After pressing, wait a minute before decanting
  Don't drink the dregs remaining at the bottom of the cup... unless you're like a friend of mine who relishes them.
  
  
  Finally, if none of that works for you, try a different brew method. Paper filters are very good at keeping grounds out of your cup.
