Hell yeah!
I would hardcore recommend getting a cheap food scale and measuring your grounds in grams. Here's one on the 'Zon for 10 bucks: https://amzn.to/3AC8Rml
It's tough using spoons as some scoops can be 20% larger than others.

I have a scale - I'll give it a shot. I have two french press insulated single serve pots and only brew 10 oz at a time. If I don't drink it within about 20 minutes, I mix it with milk, vanilla & stevia or honey and make iced coffee. I have a 6-8 cup insulated french press pot for guests and use a thermos if I need more.
I tried the Kenya DR this am and it's outstanding as well. You're right ... the Bali is more flavorful - I just have to brew it stronger. I'll try the DR decaf and report.
Coffee Sensei rules! Many thanks.
Tried the FRC DR Decaf today - doesn't render as dark/strong as the Kenya DR & not as flavorful as that or the Bali, using similar amount of ground beans. I'll add more next time and experiment til I get it right.
I went back to the beginning of this post & picked up on your Ethiopian Guji recommendation - I try that next when I get through most of the way through the current stock. Thanks again.
I'm a caffeine junkie from long ago - but my docs have cautioned me to limit it for "supposed" specific health issues. Why pay for expert advice and ignore it? 10-20oz strong caf in the am then switch. Move over to gin at 6 pm. lol. Didn't ask their advice on the gin.

Raven's Brew is great coffee. Bruin Blend is my personal favorite but all the blends have been great.

Natural Grocers was carrying Raven's Brew coffee. It has been a while since I have been to one of their locations so I cannot confirm if they still carry it. I did look at their website, and although rather clunky, the site does give locations that currently have stock. Looks like most of the Texas locations have several different blends in stock. Wicked Wolf is a great one as well as the Three Peckered Billygoat. Really all of the different roast I have tried from them has been great.
Thought you were messing until I looked it up. It's a real thing, Kopi Luwak. It gave me a good chuckle, though you've seared in my head the visual of someone discovering it for the first time
