French Press

The French Press, also known as a press pot or plunger pot, is a simple and classic way to make coffee. It involves steeping coarsely ground coffee beans in hot water and then separating the coffee from the grounds using a plunger. 

This method produces a full-bodied, rich, and aromatic cup of coffee. Caffeine levels will be higher than other methods like pour-over or moka since the coffee will share the same space as the water.

  • 1) Bring fresh, cold water to a boil and let it cool for 1-a couple of minutes until it reaches a temperature of around 93°C
  • 2) Grind coffee beans on a coarse setting to prevent them from slipping through the filter. A general rule of thumb is to use 28 grams of coffee per 473 milliliters of water.
  • 3) Pour hot water into the French press to preheat it. Let it sit for a few seconds and then discard the water.
  • 4) Add the coffee grounds to the French press then add water: Pour the hot water over the coffee grounds, making sure all the grounds are fully saturated. Give the mixture a quick stir.
  • 5) Place the plunger lid on top of the French press, but do not press it down yet. Allow the coffee to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer your coffee. (More=Stronger)
  • 6) Slowly press the plunger down to separate the brewed coffee from the grounds. Don't press too quickly, or the coffee may become cloudy or bitter.
  • Voila! Ready to enjoy in your cup!
