Brewing Storing Your Coffee The French Press


The French Press

French Press

A wonderful way to enjoy your coffee, but there is much confusion about how this little thing works. It takes a little more time but it s really very simple, and worth the extra effort. Here are a few tips on how we do it.

  1. Heat water to 200f.
  2. Pour hot water in French press to warm the press. This will keep your coffee hot longer.
  3. Grind your fresh beans coarse enough so they won’t slip through the screen on the plunger. Grinding too fine will give it a bitter taste, too coarse will give it a watery taste. Experiment with the amount of ground coffee according to your own personal taste. I like two table spoons per 6oz. cup.
  4. Empty the hot water out of the French Press and pour your fresh grounds into the beaker.
  5. Fill the beaker again with the hot (200f.) water and stir a bit with a spoon then place the lid on top of the beaker, but DO NOT PLUNGE AT THIS TIME!!!
  6. Agitate the press every so often and let steep for 3-4 minutes.
  7. Slowly push the plunger to the bottom compressing the grounds. Now pour yourself a fantastic cup of coffee.
