STEP 1

Preheat your French press with hot water then drain out water. 

STEP 2

Grind coffee to a medium-coarse grind.  Use about approx. one tbsp. for every 4 oz of water Place your ground coffee into the French press. 

STEP 3

Pour boiled water into the pot. Stir to make sure the coffee is evenly saturated. Put lid on and start time for 4 minutes.  

STEP 4

After one minute, remove lid and stir again to make sure extraction is even throughout the brew. Replace lid. 

STEP 5

At the end of the 4 minutes, push the press into the pot at a slow, even rate. This will force all the grounds to the bottom. 

STEP 6

Pour the coffee into your mug as soon as it’s pressed. If there’s more than you can fit and you’d like to enjoy it later, transfer it to another carafe so it doesn’t sit with the grinds at the bottom.
