How to Make Great Coffee at Home - French Press Style

It is not hard to make a great French Press coffee at home, and I think it's a fantastic way to enjoy coffee when you can take the time to do it.

1. Pick Fresh coffee - yea, it really matters, and can give you so much more when the coffee is fresh.


2. Grind is right - a course setting is appropriate for the French Press method, almost like the texture of a regular beach sand.


3. Pour in Hot Water - I like close to boiling, and I aim to wet all of the grounds as I pour; DON'T plunge yet, you want to let it steep


4. Put on Lid and let stand without plunging for 3-4 minutes.


5. Plunge Slowly; this filters the grounds without pushing too much of the fines through the screen on the plunger.


6. Pour and Enjoy - you'll be coming back for more.
