If it's caffeinated and tasty, I'm in. One of my favorite ways to make coffee is using a French press, which is actually one of the easiest brewing methods. Here's everything you need to know on how to use a French press.\r\nFrench Press vs. Drip Coffee Makers<\/h2>\r\nRegular coffee makers<\/a>, like your Mr. Coffee, are \"drip\" brewers. They work by heating water to near boiling and routing the steam to a drip area, which disperses water over coffee grounds. The finished brew filters into a pitcher over a warming plate. Depending on the quality of the machine, your coffee may taste either delicious or a bit scorched, but the method is hands-off and convenient.\r\n\r\nBy contrast, French press coffee is usually strong, with a rich, earthy aroma. A French press doesn't require electricity or disposable filters to brew, just hot water and coffee grounds. The grounds steep directly in hot water, and are then filtered out when the user presses down the plunger. French press is probably the second most hands-off brewing method, after drip.\r\nWhat Is the Best French Press?<\/h3>\r\nWhile designs range from fancy porcelain to plain plastic, the overall look is the same: a plunger with a metal screen attached, and a vessel for holding water.\u00a0This Bodum press<\/a> is a classic. Reviewers on Amazon also love this lightweight Espro press<\/a> for traveling.\r\nHow to Use a French Press<\/h2>\r\nIngredients<\/h3>\r\n\r\n \tGround coffee, preferably coarsely ground<\/li>\r\n \tHot water (not quite boiling, about 195\u00baF)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nTools You'll Need<\/span><\/h3>\r\n[embed_section]\r\n\r\n[embed-content imageid=\"1860971\" title=\"French Press\" buybutton=\"Shop Now\" linkurl=\"https:\/\/www.williams-sonoma.com\/products\/zwilling-sorrento-plus-double-wall-french-press\/\" newtab=\"true\" \/]\r\n\r\n[embed-content imageid=\"1860969\" title=\"Coffee Grinder\" buybutton=\"Shop Now\" linkurl=\"https:\/\/www.walmart.com\/ip\/Cuisinart-Supreme-Grind-18-Cup-Stainless-Steel-Burr-Coffee-Grinder\/26371577\" newtab=\"true\" \/]\r\n\r\n[embed-content imageid=\"1860970\" title=\"Coffee\" buybutton=\"Shop Now\" linkurl=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B079JR53F2\/\" newtab=\"true\" \/]\r\n\r\n[\/embed_section]\r\n\r\n \tFrench press:\u00a0<\/strong>This double wall Zwilling Sorrento French press<\/a> keeps up to 27 ounces of coffee hot on the inside while staying cool to the touch on the outside. Its Italian-designed mouth-blown carafe is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.<\/li>\r\n \tCoffee grinder:\u00a0<\/strong>For the perfect grind every time, this Cuisinart burr grinder<\/a> has 18 levels from ultra-fine to extra-coarse. Grind enough for four to 18 cups, and keep any leftovers in the chamber for later use.<\/li>\r\n \tCoffee: <\/strong>Because it's coffee in pure unfiltered form, you want to choose good beans and grind them yourself. Something like Verve Street Level blend<\/a>, a balanced medium roast from California, would work well. Here are some of our Test-Kitchen approved best coffee brands<\/a>.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nDirections<\/h3>\r\nStep 1: Combine coffee and water<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\nPut the grounds in the bottom of the French press. Slowly, pour hot water over them (an electric tea kettle<\/a> works great here). Make sure the grounds are completely wet; gently stir them with a spoon if necessary. Put the top on the press, but don't press it down yet!\r\nStep 2: Let the coffee steep<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\nLet the coffee grounds steep in the water for four minutes. This is adjustable to your preference, so leave it longer if you know you want extra-strength brew.\r\nStep 3. Press the plunger<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\nFirmly but slowly press the plunger down, filtering the grounds from the coffee.\r\nStep 4. Enjoy<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\nPour a big cuppa coffee.\u00a0Note that some coffee snobs recommend pouring any coffee you're not immediately drinking into a carafe. Leaving coffee in the French press can make the coffee taste bitter, because it's still sitting on top of the grounds.\r\nTips for Using a French Press<\/h2>\r\nHow much coffee do I use in a French press?<\/h3>\r\nJust like making pour-over coffee<\/a> or using a percolator<\/a>, it's important to properly measure your coffee for the brewing method. The ideal ratio for French press is about 2 tablespoons of coffee for every cup of water. If you're brewing in a standard 34 oz. French press, that's 1\/2 cup coffee beans to 4 cups of water.\r\nWhat's the best coffee to use in a French press?<\/h3>\r\nAny high-quality coffee beans are perfect for a French press. After that, it's really your taste preference. You can support your local coffee shop and buy freshly roasted coffee beans. Or consider these sustainable coffee brands<\/a> or coffee subscription boxes<\/a> to try roasts and beans from around the country and world.\r\nCan I use pre-ground coffee in a French press?<\/h3>\r\nTechnically, yes. But most pre-ground coffee beans in the store are a medium grind, which will result in coffee grounds in your coffee. Because a French press doesn't use a paper filter, it's best to use coarsely ground coffee so you don't get too much sludge or floaters in your cup. A finer grind can also clog up the mesh filter in the plunger, and the plunger might not press down.\r\nHow else can I use a French press?<\/h3>\r\nThis cylindrical carafe, plunger and filter can do more than brew a beautiful light roast. We found plenty of French press hacks<\/a>, such as making fresh-pressed juice and rinsing grains!\r\nHow do I clean a French press?<\/h3>\r\nCleaning a French press is pretty easy. Remove the plunger and rinse, if necessary. Add a splash of water to the grounds and swirl it around to loosen them, then dump into the compost or trash. You can clean all the parts of the press, including the filter, in hot soapy water.\r\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tFind a Pastry to Pair with Your Coffee<\/div>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t1 \/ 38<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\r\n[dam-video dam-id=\"28537\" msn_thumb_id=\"1561030\" type_of_player=\"jw\" \/]\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\nSpringtime Beignets & Berries<\/a>\r\nI've always loved beignets, but never thought I could make them myself.
