How to Make Our Coffee in a French Press: Step-by-Step

Follow these step-by-step instructions to make coffee in a French press:

1. Preheat French press: Add hot water to your French press and swirl it around to warm up the device before use. This will reduce temperature shock to your herbs and keep your coffee hotter for longer.
2. Remove water and dry: After about a minute, dump out the water from the canister and dry your press.
3. Add coffee : Measure out your herbal coffee and add them to the canister. 2 Tbsp. (28.3 grams) of coffee is used per 1 cup of water.
4. Soak the herbs : Add just enough boiling water to cover and soak the herbs .
5. Stir the herbs and let them sit: Stir the herbs, attach the lid, and allow the mixture to sit for about 30 seconds.
6. Add remaining water: Remove the lid and add the remaining water to the canister. Give the mixture a gentle stir.
7. Attach the lid: Attach the lid and make sure the plunger is pulled up. This allows the screen to sit flush against the bottom of the lid, which prevents steam from escaping.
8. Steep: Allow the coffee to steep for 3 to 5 minutes, longer if you want a stronger flavor.
9. Push the plunger down: After 3-5 minutes, hold the top of the lid down with one hand and slowly push down the plunger with the other hand. This should take about 20 seconds, and there will be some resistance.
10. Pour coffee: Pour the coffee into a coffee decanter or coffee cup immediately. Because of the direct immersion between the water and the herbs , the longer you let the coffee sit in the French press, the more bitter it becomes. HAND WASH ONLY!
