Simple yet irresistible: Brewing coffee in a French Press

Before you begin, ensure you have all the essentials: freshly ground coffee, hot water, a French press glass container, and a metal spoon.
 

Tips for the perfect cup of french press coffee:

1. The coffee-to-water ratio is crucial. For an average French press yielding two cups, it's recommended to use 20 to 25 grams of coffee.
2. The choice of coffee grind is also vital. Opt for a medium to coarse grind to prevent sediment from passing through the filter.
3. Quality water matters. Use filtered water to avoid impurities that might compromise the coffee's flavor.
4. Maintain the water temperature between 90°C to 95°C. Test it by letting boiled water rest for 30 seconds to a minute before using.

How to prepare French Press coffee in five steps:

1. Add the appropriate amount of freshly ground coffee to the French press.
2. Pour a small amount of hot water over the coffee and allow it to sit for a minute to release CO2.
3. After a minute, pour the remaining hot water over the coffee in the French press and gently stir.
4. Cover the French press and let the coffee steep for 3-4 minutes.
5. Slowly press the plunger to the bottom of the French press to separate the sediment from the beverage, then immediately pour the coffee into cups.
