"Hey, don't put capture a guy!"
...Well I've got to put something!
I have some questions about the french press tool I've been using.

I put in 4 tablespoons of folgers. I boil my water, and pour it on top of the grounds. I let the full french press cylinder "steep" for about 1 min. before I put the top on and push the plunger down to the bottom. After that I pour my coffee. The whole process after I pour the boiling water into the cylinder lasts about 2 min.

Is that long enough for the french press to do its job and properly brew the coffee?

I maybe getting a tolerance, or I maybe just doing this wrong. But it feels like the coffee isn't really doing its job, like it might not have had long enough to brew before I drink it to activate?

Do I need to let the water/grounds steep longer before I plunge? Do I need to let the coffee brew longer post-plunging? Thank you for any help in making my morning perkier!
