Making the perfect French Press

Step 1 - Grind roughly 1 tablespoon of coffee for every cup of water you plan add to the press.

Note: The Coffee should be ground more coarsely than the usual drip coffee and should be roughly the size of breadcrumbs

Step 2 - Add freshly grounded coffee to the French Press

Note: Make sure to clean both the glass and the wire plunger of any old coffee residue as this can influence the taste of the coffee significantly

Step 3 - Boil water, then let it sit 35-45 seconds off the boil (~200 to 205 Degrees F) and add half of it to the press. Set the timer for 4 minutes from the point the water is added.

Note: For best results use non-tap or filtered water - this may sound like we're being picky, but since coffee is made up of 90%+ water - using filtered water can significantly improve taste

Step 4 - After the 1st minute, stir the very top of the press gently for 10 seconds then pour the remaining water evenly into the press. Then put the lid on the press leaving the wired plunger at the top of the water.

Step 5 - After the 4 minute timer goes off plunge the press and serve
