a fussy guide to non-terrible coffee via french press

An Achin's Guide to French Pressitude

  1. Boil some good water. Filtered, if you can.

  2. Put 2 heaping tablespoons per 6 oz water in the press. Do not add water yet!

    (Yes this is a lot. Go for it. Brewing more coffee for less time tastes better.)

  3. Add a tiny pinch of salt. Small!

  4. Add enough hot water to just wet the grounds, and stir thoroughly.

  5. Add the rest of the hot water, stir, and put the plunger on top but do not push. Wait 4 minutes.

  6. Depress plunger slowly. Use just the weight of your hand, if possible.

Share and enjoy!
