French Press Coffee

Do French press coffee makers require different coffee grounds?
I'm thinking of getting my dad a french press, but am afraid he'll have to get all new coffee grounds since I read they require coarser grinds. Is that true? He has so many other coffee already ground up for his drip coffee maker. Thanks.
Yes, finer grounds are BAD for a french press.
The ones he has ground up for a drip maker will pass through the filter and make one nasty, sludgy cup of coffee. Also, finer grounds make it harder to push down on the plunger and create sediment that way, too.
What type of French Press are you getting him? There is also a difference of grind in the type of filter of the press.
Generally, all presses should be ground to about the size of sea salts, but a metal filter needs to be ground a bit coarser than a nylon filter.
best of luck!
