How to brew coffee using a French press
When making coffee with a French press, we recommend a 1:16 coffee-to-water ratio, which translates to one ounce (about six tablespoons) of coarsely ground coffee for 16 ounces (two cups) of water. We also recommend grinding your own beans on a coarse setting; coarsely ground coffee benefits from slow extraction. Finely ground coffee will taste over-extracted (likely harsh and bitter), and you'll wind up with a clogged filter and an extra gritty, downright unpleasant cup of coffee.
- Bring water to a boil, remove from heat and allow to cool to about 200ºF (about 30 seconds after the water comes to a full boil).
- Add the ground coffee to the carafe and then the hot water. After one minute, you’ll notice the coffee grounds float up to the top and create what is called a “crust.” Use a wooden spoon to gently break through the crust and stir. The grounds will sink to the bottom.
- Place the lid on the carafe with the plunger pulled all the way up and steep for three more minutes.
- Gently push the plunger all the way down after three minutes and serve immediately; the coffee will continue to brew and become bitter as it sits!
Clean your French press after each use. Coffee grounds and oil residue on the carafe and filter will impart bitterness into your coffee. Wash and make sure to disassemble the nested filter to scrub off any deposits and residual oils.
