FRENCH PRESS COFFEE
Once you get the hang of using it, a French press delivers consistent results and a heavier-bodied brew. Plus it makes your morning coffee ritual much more enjoyable. There are a few prerequisites: Coffee that is too finely ground will make your final product murky and give it an oily sheen and bitter flavor. If you do not have a coffee grinder, ask the person in the coffee section of the grocery store or your local coffee shop to grind the beans for French press. Water temperature also matters-too hot and it can cause the brew to taste burnt. How long to let it steep is subjective so experiment to find your own target time.

Steps:
- Bring a kettle of water to boil. Pour the water into a 4- to 8-cup French coffee press to warm it while you grind your beans. Refill the kettle with 2 cups water and return to a boil.
- Grind the beans in a coffee grinder on the coarse setting; the ground coffee should resemble coarse sugar or sand. Coffee that is too finely ground will make your final product murky and give it an oily sheen and bitter flavor.
- Once the kettle comes to a boil, remove from the heat and let sit 30 seconds to reach the optimal temperature for French press. If it's too hot, it can cause the brew to taste burnt.
- Pour the hot water out of the French press. Put the measures coffee in the bottom. And 1 cup of the hot water, put on the top (but don't press) and let sit 1 minute.
- After 1 minute, gently stir with the handle of a wooden spoon to break up the layer of coffee on top. Pour in the remaining 1 cup hot water. Put the top on (but don't press) and let sit for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, depending on how strong you like your coffee. Taste is subjective, so experiment to find your own target time.
- Slowly push the plunger down to press the coffee grounds to the bottom of the pot. As a rule of thumb, if it is very difficult to press, your coffee is probably ground too fine. If it glides right down with no resistance, your grind is probably too coarse. There is a sweet spot of resistance somewhere in the middle.
- Serve right away with milk and sweetener if using. If you aren't sharing the pot and want to wait to have a second cup, it's best to transfer the coffee to a thermos or carafe. If you leave it in the press, it will continue to brew and can become too strong or bitter.

- In a burr grinder set to a coarse grind size, grind the coffee beans. Heat the water until it reaches 206° on an instant-read thermometer; alternatively, bring the water to a boil, then let stand for 1 minute.
- Pour the ground coffee into the French press. Place the French press on a kitchen scale and set the scale to zero. Pour 600 grams of the hot water into the French press, thoroughly saturating the coffee grounds. Let stand for 1 minute. Quickly stir the steeping coffee to break up the cap of grounds floating on top. Cover the French press with its top, without pressing the filter down, and let stand for 3 minutes longer.
- Very slowly push the filter down until it is fully depressed. Pour the coffee into cups, leaving the dregs in the French press.

- French Press Chai Latte. Come fall, there are few things as comforting as a chai latte. (OK, soups too.) But who wants to spend a small fortune on tea—even if it is a latte?
- Vanilla Matcha Green Tea Latte. Making matcha at home can feel intimidating. What kind of whisk should I use? What color should my matcha powder be?
- Hazelnut Chocolate French Press Latte. Hazelnut chocolate latte may sound like a sugar bomb, but this healthy twist is anything but.
- Chamomile Tea Latte. Energizing drinks are awesome—and they make mornings (and afternoons) so much better. But that doesn’t meantime pre-bed lattes should be overlooked.
- anilla French Press Cappuccino. Who needs an espresso machine, anyway? Don’t get us wrong: We’d love to own one. But we may love this cheap and easy cappuccino hack even more.
- Ayurvedic Turmeric Detox Tea. Don’t know what Ayurveda is? Don’t worry. This tea is great for anyone, especially if you prefer something with less caffeine or if you’re in need of a little detox.
- French Press Breakfast Chocolate. There’s hot cocoa mix, and there’s drinking chocolate, and we fall firmly in the camp that if you’re looking for a rich, creamy, and decadent sip, drinking chocolate is the way to go.

- Pour coffee into cups and add half-and-half cream and sweetener if desired. Enjoy immediately!

- Season & Serve Milk. Some lightly infused milk is the perfect way to elevate tea time or your morning coffee (not to mention a great way to impress your friends).
- Wash Your Grains. As most home cooks know, it's important to wash rice and other similar grains before cooking. This may sound simple, but it can be a hassle because it often requires dirtying a large strainer or colander and uses more water than necessary.
- Steep Tea. Tea and coffee are pretty similar in my book: they're both hot, delicious, caffeinated beverages that I'm completely addicted to. Oh, and they also both brew perfectly in a French press!

- While water is boiling, grind coffee beans to a coarse grind. The coffee grounds should be all relatively the same size. Not too finely ground and not super chunky.
- When the water has come to a boil, remove from the heat and let water sit for 1-2 minutes to prevent scalding the coffee grounds.
- Place grounds into the French press and slowly pour hot water into the French press. Then, use a long spoon to mix the ground to make sure they are fully submerged. Let brew for 5 minutes (or more if you like really strong coffee). We like to place the French press top on top of the grounds while it’s brewing so no hot air escapes.

- Measure coffee beans. You typically want about 32 grams of coffee. Precise measurements are pretty crucial when it comes to making the perfect cup of Fresh Press coffee, so use a food scale (like this one).
- If using coffee beans (not coffee grounds), pour them into a conical burr grinder and grind just until the beans appear coarse like sand. They don’t have to be perfectly ground down.
- Prime the French press by pouring warm water into the glass. This will ensure heat consistency throughout the glass when it comes time to brew! If you don’t have a French Press but are in the market (you should be), we love the Bodum Chambord French Press coffee maker.
- Place the French press with coffee grounds onto a food scale set to zero. Using a smart kettle, add filtered, purified water and heat it to 195-205 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a timer to brew the coffee for exactly 4 minutes. MORE: Coffee coconut macaroons is every coffee-lover’s dream dessert.
- At 2 minutes, use a spoon to break up and reincorporate the coffee grounds that are forming a crust.
- Once the 4 minutes are up, push down on the French press plunger. If you want to make the coffee even smoother, pour it through a coffee filter or strainer.
