Step 1

Grab your french press, tea kettle, coffee beans, and coffee grinder

Step 2

Fill a tea kettle about half full of filtered water and place on high burner until it comes to a whistling boil.

Step 3

While your water is heating, prep your beans by measuring out 8 tbs beans into a grinder. Grind to a medium-course grind (similar to bread crumbs). Pour your freshly ground coffee into the french press basin.

Step 4

Once your tea kettle whistles or your water has come to a rolling boil, turn off the heating element. Let the water rest for 30 seconds (you want to pour your water when it's 30 seconds off the boil).

Step 5

Slowly pour your water by taking the french press in one hand, the kettle in the other, tilting the french press slightly, and pouring the water in a circle around the beans so all the beans are slightly saturated with water. Only pour a couple of inches of water on the beans - enough to see the beans bloom (expand). Take the french press and swirl the water gently so all beans are covered. Let this rest for 1 minute.

Step 6

In a circular motion pour the rest of your water into the french press. Swirl the water around by turning the french press in circular motions again (or stir the coffee with a spoon). You should have a layer of crema over the top like this.

Step 7

Set the lid on the french press without pressing the plunger down. The length of time you let your coffee steep depends on how strong you like it. 5-10 minutes is a good range.

Step 8

If you ground your coffee correctly, the plunger should not go down too easy but it also shouldn't be hard to push down. You should be met with slight resistance.

Step 9

Fill your cups with ice (some will melt, which is why you brewed double-strength coffee).

Step 10

Adding water, cream/milk or flavors will all be personal preference. You don't need to add anything at this point unless you want.
