50/50 leaves B & D.
Spoiler
Jacob’s +1 is his brother, Jeff. Neither of them are coffee drinkers (although Jeff did know Chubby Checker so that would have helped Jacob, as he could have used the audience here). Jeff remembers staying at a condo where the owner had a French Press & he thinks more-finely-ground beans would come through the filter, into the coffee, as you press them. Jacob believes the beans are in the filter & really finely-ground stuff would make it harder to press the water through. Jeff is 50% sure it's B and Jacob is 50% sure it's D.
Spoiler
