Honestly, it's a bit much for me at home, though for some reason it tastes just fine at work. I'm not sure why. I cut back slightly from that, and tend to make it 3 for every 12 oz of water. Don't tell them I said that.

I've discover with the French press at work, Peet's 2 tablespoon recommendation while seemingly excesive, make for the better cup of coffee - I tend to scale back a bit on the home drip machine, but for some reason less beans just takes away the body.
