A pinch of salt? No, don't put salt, sugar, or cream in coffee. If you feel that your coffee needs these items, then you should throw it out and order some fresh roasted coffee. Don't buy it in the store because freshness matters. By fresh I mean days (not weeks after roasting. Thinking of roasted coffee like bread, you wouldn't buy 3 week old bread, would you?

Depending on the coffee is how long you should let it sit in the French press. For most coffees it's four minutes. Personally I think the French press extracts best when using very high quality coffee and shouldn't be used for your run if the mill grocery store coffee. I use columian reserve del patron or Jamaica Blue MountIn Coffee ( jamaicanblue.ca
