How To: French Press

Meet the French Press: A quick yet sophisticated way to start your day.

Pair with hot water and coffee grounds for the perfect brew.

It’s Almost Too Easy –

1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil and let sit for one minute (the ideal temperature for french press coffee is 195°F).

2. Pour coffee grounds into the french press followed by the hot water. Stir vigorously, using an up and down motion.

3. Time to steep – let the mix sit for four minutes. (If you like to experiment, you may find certain roasts may taste better with slightly longer or shorter steeping times)

4. After 4 minutes, press the plunger all the way down to the bottom.

5. Pour yourself a cup and enjoy.

Things to Consider:

If you find yourself with a little extra time, feel free to warm the french press beforehand by rinsing it out with boiling water.

If you brewed a little too much, pour the leftover coffee into a thermal carafe to keep it hot.
This prevents the coffee from sitting on the grounds and becoming too bitter.

Cheers!
