Easy French Press Tips

If you are a coffee lover out there, you have probably already discovered the joys of using a French Press. This is the preferred coffee method to offer fuller flavor in your cup of Joe because it leaves the essential oils in the brew. Try for yourself and see!

Here are some quick French Press brewing tips to get you started:

Don't ever brew with boiling hot water, which can scald the coffee grounds and cause them to taste burnt.
• Always make sure to freshly grind your coffee grounds to a coarse grind. This will help your cup of Joe to taste better, and it will also prevent sediment in your coffee cup from grounds that are too fine.
• Make sure to let your French Press steep for four minutes, which will give you the fullest flavors possible in your brew.
