Benefits of preparing coffee in a French press
When you prepare your coffee with a French press, you retain the natural oils released by the beans that paper filters usually absorb, extracting the full flavor of the coffee and achieving a thicker, more exquisite consistency.
How to prepare coffee in a French press?
Recommendation: Use coarsely ground coffee and add 2 tablespoons per 180 ml of water.
- After adding the two tablespoons of coffee, fill the coffee pot with hot, but not boiling, water. Make sure to soak all the grounds.
- Using a spoon, break up the resulting crust and stir slowly. Place the filter lid on the coffee maker without pressing down and wait four minutes for the coffee to brew.
- Gently press the filter down to the bottom of the coffee maker, pour, and then enjoy a delicious cup of coffee.
