Step-by-Step: French Press Method
Don't fret, using a French Press isn't a daunting task. Here's the step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Grinding
Start with freshly roasted and whole bean single origin coffee. Grind the beans at a consistency that's similar to breadcrumbs.
Step 2: Measurement
The golden ratio is 1:12 coffee to water. So for one cup, measure out one ounce (28 grams) of your freshly ground coffee to 12 ounces of water.
Step 3: Brewing
Add your coffee grounds to the press and then pour in the hot water. Start a timer for 4 minutes and let the coffee steep.
Step 4: Press
Once the time's up, slowly plunge the press down to separate the grounds from the coffee. Pour yourself a cup and sit back to enjoy!
Final Word
Savoring Single Origin coffee using a French Press truly brings out the distinct flavor profile of the beans. Be it the fruity undertones, nutty aroma, or the depth of chocolate - you will find it all steeped in your cup.
