Hey guys!

  Whenever I am not at the coffee shop I always make myself a cup of coffee usually in the morning using my French Press. However one thing I have never really figured out is how long the coffee should steep before extracting it. I usually let it steep for roughly 5mins because I know that is how long tea should steep, but I'm never really sure. This morning I don't I let it steep long enough. Is there a proper steep time? I know there is but I'm not sure what. If someone could let me know how to better my coffee with the french press my tongue and I would be internally greatful.
