I'm not sure what you are asking, but a french press is my favorite way to make coffee, and Ubora was a very solid blend.

It would appear that you're dumb, so I'm going to guess that you are doing it wrong.

Yes...you are...since you're buying from Starbucks.

As a preparation method, though, no.

Haha wrong about me purchasing it, gf gets a weekly box of tea/bag of coffee free from there.

Glad I'm using the good prep. method though. Is there anything other than french press and standard drip for regular coffee?

Any suggestions as to where I should be buying coffee that is better than starbucks coffee. I like the 'bold' category most from starbucks.

FWIW, I think most people get bored with a french press fairly quickly and revert to the convenience of a drip. I did.

Whats inconvenient about a french press? I dont find it inconvenient at all.

Compared to the 30 seconds it takes to get a drip machine with a timer ready each night and wake up to already brewed coffee it is. Plus you have to clean the filter. And you there can be grains and/or cloudy coffee. Everyone I've known that used a press or vacuum thing in the past uses a drip now. That said, you can make some awesome coffee with em.
