I usually start at a ratio of 30g coffee per 500g water, then you can adjust from there if you feel it didn't come out the way you like.
Hey! That's just about what I do! I make it a little lighter with 40g of coffee and 20oz (591g) of water.
I use a little water to warm up the press, empty it, drop the coffee in, pour maybe 100g of water to get it going and stir then wait a minute, add the rest of the water and brew for 5 minutes, press and enjoy. It comes out just right for my taste and preference for light and medium roast Central American beans.
When I do French Press, I usually use a darker roast. But I've found that ratio to bad good starting point for a new bag of beans. Then I just adjust depending on how that first batch/cup comes out
