If you’re after the perfect cup of coffee learn how to make coffee in a French press. It’s a simple brewing method that brings the flavors in coffee beans to life.
In a kettle bring slightly more than 4 cups of water to a boil. Take the kettle off the heat and let it rest for 1 minute.
While the water is heating up, grind 52 grams (1/2 cup) of high-quality coffee beans in a burr grinder.
Place the ground coffee in the bottom of the French press. Once the water has rested, pour it over the grounds until it’s reached just under the top of the French press. The ideal temperature for brewing coffee is between 195ºF and 205ºF degrees.
Put the top on to the French press and let the coffee brew for 4 minutes before depressing the plunger.
Once the plunger has been pressed down, the coffee is ready to drink.
