Learning to Use a French Press

From personal experience I can tell you it's always fun to try and learn new things. More specifically, it's fun to learn and try new things related to coffee! If you've never tried coffee from a french press before, now's the time. A good french press is very affordable ($20 - $80 depending on quality) and will make your coffee experience so much more enjoyable. If you've never done it before, take a look at our how to use a french press tutorial. Basically, you get your coffee beans. Grind them (coarse and 1 - 2 tablespoons per cup). Pour them into your french press pot. Pour really really hot water into the pot to cover the grounds. Cover it and let it steep for 4 minutes or so. Gently push down the filter and enjoy. Not hard at all! Give it a try, and you'll realize that with just a tiny bit more personal effort your coffee can taste a ton better than if you use a regular coffee machine.
