The French press coffee ingredient:
- 140-gram coffee, about 2 cups ground coffee beans
- 8 cups of filtered water.
- 8 cups French press
Instructions for making French press coffee:
1. Grind the coffee:
Grind the coffee beans to a medium grind using a coffee grinder. The size of the grind is important: if it’s too fine it can create sediment; if it’s too coarse it’s not flavorful enough.
2. Heat the water:
Heat the water too hot but not boiling 200 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit using an electric kettle, or bring it to a boil on the stovetop and then let it sit for 1 minute to decrease in temperature.
3. Add coffee grounds:
Add the coffee grounds to the bottom of the pot.
Let coffee bloom for 1 minute. Add hot water to the height of the coffee and stir with a spoon. Set a timer and wait for 1 minute.
4. Add water and brew for 4 minutes:
Fill the French press to the top and stir again. Set a timer and wait for 4 minutes.
5. Plunge:
Place the lid on the French press and slowly press the plunger all the way down. Serve immediately.
ENJOY!
