I am trying to make coffee for my wife cause the K machine died. The issue is, she is saying it is foamy. Is this good or bad or how do I correct it? I dont drink it so I really dont know how it is supposed to be...

The foam might be "crema" which is good, but I can't tell without a picture. What grind did you use for the beans to prepare your FP?

.40

I use a french press for coffee making. The water should be just below boiling at sea level. Course grind coffee, preferably fresh ground. I stir the coffee with the handle of a wooden spoon while brewing. If you do not stir, the grounds will float. That might be the foam she tastes.

Coffee should have some foam, if not, the water isn't hot enough or there aren't enough grounds.

That's how I do it too, 'cept I usually stir with a chop stick.
