Ingredients

  • 16 ounces water
  • 3-4 tablespoons ground coffee freshly-ground
  • milk or cream, optional
  • sweetener such as sugar, simple syrup or a sugar-free sweetener optional

Instructions

  • Heat water to 195°F (90.5°C) to 205°F (96°C).
  • If using whole beans, measure out coffee beans and coarsely grind them.
  • Add the coffee grounds to the French press. Top with a little bit of water so the grounds bloom, and let rest for 1 minute. Blooming coffee grounds helps to improve the flavor.
  • Fill the carafe with hot water. Stir together water and grounds.
  • Add the lid with the plunger up. Do not push it down — leave it this way for 4 minutes.
  • Slowly push down the plunger to the bottom of the carafe.
  • Pour into coffee mugs. Enjoy black or add cream and sugar, if desired.

Notes

The above measurements will make a medium-strong cup of coffee. Adjust the amount of grounds you use for a stronger or weaker brew.
