Coffee brewed in a French press has a rich, rich taste. While the filters of a drip coffee maker absorb some of the oil from the beans, which means they deplete the taste and aroma of the drink, the French press allows you to enjoy the full range of sensations. French presses or coffee presses are made from glass, steel and plastic, in various sizes and in a variety of modifications. All you need to brew a great cup of coffee is freshly ground beans, hot filtered water and a French press.

- Coffee beans
- Coffee grinder
- French press
Instructions
Step 1
Fill the kettle with filtered water and put on fire. Always boil water shortly before brewing coffee. The boiling water should cool slightly before you start the process.
Step 2
Pour hot water into a French press to warm up the glass flask.
Step 3
Grind the coffee beans. The grind should be medium to coarse, but not finer. Try steeping one tablespoon in five milliliters of water to start. In the future, you can adjust the strength of the brew to your liking.
Step 4
Empty the press and place the required amount of ground coffee on the bottom. Add hot water from the kettle. Make sure that at least a couple of centimeters remain from the edges of the flask to the water.
Step 5
Stir water and coffee slowly with a spoon or wooden stick.
Step 6
Cover the flask with the plunger cap and leave it in the top of the press. Let the coffee brew for at least three to five minutes. The longer you brew your coffee, the stronger it will be.
Step 7
Slowly and evenly lower the plunger down. If you use excessive force or do it abruptly, the coffee grounds can get into the drink.
Step 8
Pour the coffee into a cup, if you let it sit further in the French press, it will continue to brew and may eventually become too bitter.
Step 9
Wash the flask and strainer by hand. Do this as soon as you drink your coffee to remove the oils and thicknesses so you can get the same fresh, clean coffee the next time.
