The most flavorful way I enjoy a great cup of coffee is brewed in a French press. A French press is a coffee steeping vessel where coffee grounds and water are added together to steep and then plunged down with a mesh filter that's stretched to the lid. The grounds are held at the bottom while you pour yourself a cup. Follow these steps for the perfect cup of French press coffee:
- Start with the best quality/grade of coffee.
- Grind the coffee course – like course sea salt.
- Use 2 level tablespoons of grounds per 6 to 8 ounces of water. This is Gold Cup Standard.
- Pour hot water, 196 to 200 degrees F (not boiling), over grounds.
- Steep for three minutes.
- Press.
Pour and enjoy!
