How to Use a French Press

The big question, right? You’ll be glad to know it’s a simplistic process, from beginning to end.

First, measure and weigh your coffee grounds. The ideal ratio is one cup of water for two tablespoons of coffee. As your water is boiling, pour the grounded coffee into your French press, with your water on top. After about four to five minutes, press down and enjoy!
