The French Press Guide: How to Brew a Cup Worth Slowing Down For

French press is immersion coffee: coarse grind, hot water, four minutes, no paper filter. Full body if you get grind and ratio right.

Brew

Preheat the press. Coarse like sea salt. About 1:15 coffee to water. Bloom 30 seconds, fill, lid on, steep 4 minutes. Plunge slow. Pour all of it out so it does not keep extracting.

Bitter: too fine, too hot, or too long. Weak: too little coffee. Grit: grind coarser.
