Easily Learn How to Use a French Press
If you're looking to unlock the secrets for the best way to brew coffee then look no further and I'll show you everything you need to know about learning how to use a French press coffee maker. It really couldn't be any quicker or easier!
How to Use a French Press Coffee Maker
1. Use coarse grounds: You need to use coarse grounds when you want to learn the best way to brew coffee. This is because fine grounds can clog up the mesh filter of your coffee press, or can even bypass it. Purchase a grinder for the freshest results, otherwise purchase coarse grounds from a store.
2. Measure your coffee: You should use one large tablespoon of coarse grounds for every 4 ounces of coffee your making. As you measure that out, pour the grounds directly into the bottom of the French press. You want to be sure the entire plunger and filter unit is out of the press as you do this.
3. Pour in the water: You need to heat up your water separately, a basic tea kettle or even the microwave works just fine for this. Pour in the water once it's just below boiling.
4. Stir and Wait: Once you have poured the water onto the grounds, stir the mixture. Then place the top of the unit back on to keep all of the heat in, and set a timer for 4 minutes. That's how long you need to wait before your coffee is brewed. If you leave it for longer, the coffee will end up a bit stronger than typical. You're almost done learning how to use a French press coffee maker!
5. Plunge: After waiting a minimum of four minutes, you can now press the plunger down. Do this slowly and carefully for the best results. Once you've pressed the plunger all the way down, you should be left with perfectly brewed, fresh coffee. Pour it in your favorite mug and enjoy.
As you can see, learning how to use a French press coffee maker really isn't that difficult. You can make an amazing cup of coffee in just a few minutes, without any expensive gadgets. After trying this for yourself, I think you'll agree that this is the best way to brew coffee!
