The French Press


Also known as The Plunger, this brewing method is one of the simplest and tastiest.
How to use a French Press:
  1. Grind coffee coarsely (slightly larger than usual)
  2. Dump coffee into French Press
  3. Pour boiling water into the press
  4. Let steep 2-4 minutes
  5. Plunge or Press the coffee grounds to the bottom
  6. Enjoy
Benefits: simple, no paper filter required, thus more coffee oils captured in the water, sediment throughout resulting in a more robust mouth feel, easy to clean, can double for loose-leaf tea pot
Drawbacks: can be too much sediment if grind is too fine
Optional Equipment:
  • Grinder
  • Water heater/kettle
Stimulus Package coming soon!
