2. Measure your water based on your French Press capacity. Boil it, then let it cool for 30 seconds. Ideal brew temp? 90–96°C.

3. Pour in just enough water to soak the coffee grounds. Let it bloom for 30 seconds—especially aromatic if the coffee was just ground. Then pour in the rest of the water.

4. Stir gently with a wooden or plastic spoon—metal = risk to your glass.

5. Place the lid back on with the plunger all the way up. Let it brew for a full 4 minutes.

6. Slowly press the plunger down. If it’s hard to press, your grind’s too fine. Too easy? Too coarse. With a good French Press, you don’t need to wait for the grounds to settle. (Bonus tip: Make sure the spout is facing forward.)

Drink it. Fast. Or slow. Just enjoy every sip. ☕💥
