A French Press makes for an exceptional cup of coffee.
A French Press allows for steeping; because the grounds steep instead of filter, you can expect a more flavorful brew. Eliminating a paper filter leaves just the ground coffee providing you to taste all the flavors without the impurities.
Measure
Begin with a course ground
Accurately weigh the coffee and measure the amount of water. Here is a general guide for the coffee to water ration.
1 cups water (8 fluid ounces)
— 2 tbsp coffee beans (14 grams)
2 cups (16 fluid ounces)
— ¼ cup coffee beans (28 grams)
4 cups (32 fluid ounces)
— ½ cup coffee beans (56 grams)
8 cups (64 fluid ounces)
— 1 cup coffee beans (112 grams)
Fill & Stir
After bringing water to a full boil, wait 1 minute then add to ground coffee, using a long spoon/stirrer, stir vigorously to break up the top layer.
Allow the coffee to steep for 4 minutes allowing for the best infused flavor. Don’t allow coffee to sit with the grounds
Serve & enjoy immediately!
