My fiancee and I had really been looking forward to getting this french press for a while now, I don’t drink coffee but she does. We had a automatic drip coffee machine but wanted to try out french press coffee since we had heard it was so good.
Un-breakable French Press by Bonjour
So far we’ve been very pleased with our new french press. My fiancee makes coffee almost daily with this and from what I understand you can also make tea with it. For those who don’t know French Pressed coffee is very tasty and almost has me a coffee drink now.
Instructions for Making Coffee with a French Press
- Boil as much water needed for the amount of coffee you want to make.
- Grind coffee beans, if necessary.
- Preheat French press by filling it with warm water from faucet.
- Allow boiled water to rest for a few minutes to cool to optimum temperature (195 to 205 degrees F).
- Pour warm water out of press and add ground coffee. Use two level tablespoons per six ounces of water.
- Pour just enough hot water over grounds to wet them. Fresh coffee will expand as gas escapes.
- Pour in remaining water and stir.
- Place the plunger over the press to keep the heat in, but don’t press it down yet.
- Let the coffee brew for three to four minutes.
- Push plunger down slowly. It should take about 30 seconds.
- Pour and drink the coffee.
