Do it right, and you get rich, roasty cups of coffee every day without the bitterness. Here are a few tricks to get consistent results.
Always go with Steel French Presses because the plastic ones absorb coffee oils and soap leading to bitter tasting brews.
The Coffee Grounds:
- Buy whole beans
- Grind before Brewing
- Coarse Even Grinds and Never Fine Grinds.
Play around with your results. If your coffee is too sour, grind it finer next time. If it is too bitter, grind it more coarsely next time.
The Perfect Ratio
The best ratio of water to coffee grinds is 7% coffee to water weight. That means 2.4 ounces of coffee to 34 ounces of water. Or 70 grams of coffee grounds for every 1000 grams of water.
2.4 ounces = 4.8 Table Spoons of Coffee Grinds for this French Press.
Four Minute Brew Time
Use boiling water and pour over the grinds evenly. Brew for four minutes. Four minutes really is the magic number to getting it right.
How To Get It SILKY:
Once four minutes is up, skim off all those fine specs coffee grinds floating on the top. Then Press. You will end up with a cleaner brew. Drink your coffee within 15 minutes. Enjoy Perfect Coffee Anytime
