Okay so I have a french press, and I have been trying to figure out how much coffee I need. Here is the scenario:

It is a 15 oz press, I been reading that the general rule of thumb is 2 tbs of coffee per 6 oz of water, so if my math is correct that would me 5 tbs of coffee. or roughly 25 grams...

This seems like a lot of coffee for that amount of water?

Secondly, do I measure the scoops prior to grinding or after grinding?

I know there isn't an exact answer and there are other variables to consider, but I was wondering if there are any general guide lines I should be following... or opinions about this?

There will be a test later (a taste test) so you better get it right.

    This has already been very well-covered in What's the Ideal Coffee to Water Ratio for a French Press?. (That question doesn't explicitly ask when to measure, but the answers make it clear it's after grinding). The rest of your question, asking for general guidelines and opinions, isn't really a specific enough question to work well here, but if you have specific follow-up questions please do post them! – Cascabel Mar 07 '13 at 17:57
