How to Make Coffee Correctly With a French Press

Coffee never seems to taste quite as great as when you buy it from a coffee shop, but there are ways to make great coffee at home. One of the best ways is with a french press.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. The first step is to buy the coffee. You always should try and buy whole beans and place these in to the freezer in order to keep them flavorful. For the most flavor try and purchase a bold coffee.

2. When you are ready to make the coffee take the beans out of the package and place them in the grinder. When using a french press you want to grind your beans in to a coarse material. Do not over grind. The beans should be chunky and not fine.

3. Place the grindes in to the french press. Boil your water until the pot whistles and then pour this on top of the grindes. Stir the water and grindes together until you get a dark, rich color in the hot water.

4. Place the press cover on top of the grindes and water. Let this sit and steam for about five minutes. Push the press slowley all the way down to the bottom. Now enjoy your coffee!
