Seep vs. Steep

“Coffee is a little bit better with French press,” he said. “The coffee is a lot fresher since the grounds are actually being soaked in water instead of the water running through them. You can seep the coffee to whatever lightness or darkness you want. So you have a lot more control over the final output.”

I’m not up on how to do a Google search for “counts”, but I did find this example pretty quickly.
