Quality coffee beans
Boiling water
French Press coffee maker
Electric or hand-crank coffee grinder
Pour 1-2 cups boiling water in the French press and let it sit for a few minutes while you grind your coffee. This heats the press so you wont lose any temperature later.
Grind your coffee beans (COURSE GRIND ONLY!) and avoid pre-ground beans for this. The pre-ground bags are for your machines and a French press needs a larger, more course grind. A hand grinder or electric grinder are your best friends here and it makes all the difference in the world.
Dump the hot water from the French press into your coffee mug to allow your mug to heat up while your coffee is prepared.
Add your coffee grounds to the French press. Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the grounds to dampen. Pause a moment and allow the grounds to soak up the water and then add the rest of the boiling water over the grounds (15:1 Ratio of water to coffee grounds, or roughly 3 tablespoons of grounds per cup of water). Let this sit for 4 minutes without touching.
After steeping for 4 minutes, press down on the plunger. Pour immediately into your cup and enjoy!
