How to use French Press?

Using a French Press is a simple and straightforward method of making a full bodied and aromatic coffee.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to effectively use a coffee French Press:

1. French Press coffee maker
2. Dynasty of Coffee Plunger grind
3. Hot water (temperature between 90-96 degrees Celsius).
4. Timer
5. Stirring utensil
6. Scales

1. Ensure your French Press is clean and dry. It should consist of a glass or a stainless-steel container, with a plunger lid.
2. Remove the plunger lid from the container.

• A general guideline is to use 1-2 tablespoons of coffee for every 6 ounces (177ml of water), but you can adjust this to your taste.

• Boil the water and allow it to cool slightly. The ideal temperature should range from 90-96 degrees Celsius.

• Place the French Press on a scale and add your measured grounds.

1. Start your timer and pour the hot water over the coffee grounds, filling it to around three quarters.
2. Stir the coffee mixture with a long spoon to ensure even saturation.

1. Allow the coffee to bloom for around 30 seconds. During this time, the coffee will release carbon dioxide and bubble up.
2. After the bloom, pour the remainder of the water to fill the French Press.
3. Put the lid on, but do not plunge.

1. Start your timer once you have filled you French Press completely.
2. Allow the coffee to steep for 4-5 minutes. Adjust the steeping time to your taste. A longer steep will result in a stronger coffee.
3. After steeping, gently press down the plunger with steady pressure.

1. Pour the brewed coffee into your mug.
2. Serve and enjoy your delicious French Press coffee.

Remember to thoroughly clean your French Press before it’s next use.

Remove the used coffee grounds and rinse with hot water. Ensure it is completely dry before next use.
