When you calculate RF values, you need the distance moved by the dye (or whatever you're using) and the distance moved by the solvent (the eluent front)

Given that no matter where the eluent front stops your measurement will always have the same standard error (say +- 1mm if you're using TLC plates and a normal ruler), then the further your eluent front and dye move, the less that measurement error will impact on your RF value - the error will be a smaller % of the overall distance.

What are the benefits of using a french press rather than using other coffee making methods?

Brewing coffee with a french press has the advantage of no filter cup, allowing the aromatic oils to stay in your coffee rather than be soaked up by the paper. This process means that more flavor ends up in your drink rather than soaked up in the paper. Another advantage to brewing coffee in a french press, is that hot water completely surrounds the beans, allowing all of the flavor to meld out into your coffee.

Is benzene and chloroform mixture a good eluent?

A good eluent is one that gives good separation between your target compound and impurities. Use a TLC plate to get a feel for the effect of the eluent on your purification. If this is your first time purifying this reaction, a good Rf to aim for in regard to your target compound is 0.2 - 0.25, and impurities should have at least an Rf difference of 0.1 - 0.15 compared to your target compound. Benzene is rather toxic and should not be used for eluting large quantities of compound. But if your reaction is around 2g scale or less, benzene should be ok.
