French Press Brewing InstructionsUpdated a year ago

To brew your coffee with a French Press you will need 60g of coarsely ground coffee, 1 liter of nearly-boiling water, a scale, and a timer. 

The entire brewing process takes about 4 minutes, give or take 30 seconds or so. 

Preheat your French Press by rinsing it with hot water, and be sure to have a separate serving device ready (or a large mug!) ready to transfer the coffee to as soon as it’s finished brewing.

  • Add the ground coffee and start your timer – add all the water from beginning to the 30 second mark.
  • Stir with a spoon to saturate all of the grounds and place the plunger on top, let it sit for 3 minutes.
  • At 3:30 slowly start to sink the plunger down your cup.
  • At 4:00 minutes pour the brewed coffee into a separate service vessel, swirl and enjoy!
  • Clean the flask, plunger and screen filter gently, but well. Let air dry.

Adjusting Taste:

Try adjusting either the grind or the amount of coffee you use. It’s important to only change one variable at a time, otherwise you won’t know which change led to your desired taste profile.

Changing the size of the grind can largely influence the taste of your coffee. If the coffee tastes bitter, use a coarser grind; if the coffee tastes sour, use a finer grind.
