I do steep my pour over like it was a French press, though. I have what's called an "immersion" brewer. Essentially, I pour it all together just like you do in a press, let it set for the same amount of time, then release the valve over my mug and bam! Coffee. I found a fondness for it because it is the same strength as French but with a much lower likelihood of grounds.

The dark roast I really like is Italian Roast, which is balanced in bitterness and bean flavor. The lower caffeine is my preference at this point of my metabolism. One cup in the morning does the job.
