The French Press is a classic brewing method that produces a full-bodied cup of coffee. Start by coarsely grinding your coffee beans, aiming for a ratio of 1:12 coffee to water. Boil your water and let it cool for about 30 seconds to reach the ideal temperature of 200°F. Add your coffee grounds to the French Press, then pour the hot water over them. Stir gently, place the lid on, and let it steep for four minutes before pressing down the plunger. This method allows oils and flavors to remain in the brew, resulting in a bold and satisfying cup.
