Hi, this is the process I have always used and it comes out great! The brew time is between 3-5 minutes, and I have found that 4 minutes is perfect. Enjoy!
Measure two level tablespoons of ground coffee for every six ounces of water. Water selection is another topic entirely, but common sense should prevail: the higher quality the water, the better your coffee will taste. Fill the tea kettle cold water and bring the water to a boil. When you pull the water off the flame, it will cool slightly and it will be just a bit under 212 degrees Fahrenheit (that’s 100 degrees Celsius at one atmosphere of pressure). Pour the water directly into the French Press over the coffee grounds.
Put the French Press lid on the pot, but do not depress the plunger yet. Putting the lid on the French Press will ensure that your coffee will retain heat for the appropriate amount of time. Let the coffee “steep” – i.e. leave it alone – for 3 to 5 minutes. This time window is long enough to extract all the positive flavors from the coffee without any bitter / negative flavors extracted.
The coffee grounds will swell during the steeping time. After the appropriate amount of steeping, gently press the French Press plunger down. The mesh filter will push the coffee grounds to the bottom and separate the liquid from the coffee grounds. Pour the coffee into your favorite mug and enjoy!
