Home Brew Guide: French Press

Written By Lay Day .

Ah, the French Press. Simple, quick, timeless.

French Press

What You'll Need:

  • French Press

  • Coarse-ground coffee

  • Hot water (195–205°F)

  • Stirring spoon

  • Timer

Brew Ratio: 1:15 (e.g., 30g coffee to 450g water)
Brew Time: 4 (ish)minutes.

4 minutes is not an exact science.

We would recommend letting the coffee steep for at-least for minutes but after that adjust time to your taste preferences

Steps:

  1. Heat water to 195–205°F.

  2. Add coarsely ground coffee to the French press.

  3. Pour hot water evenly over the grounds. Stir gently.

  4. Place the lid on without plunging and let steep for 4 minutes.

  5. Slowly press the plunger down.

  6. Pour and enjoy immediately!
