Simple Methods For French Press Brewing

To brew a quick and delicious cup of Joe, all you need is a French Press! One main advantage to using a French Press is that it does not require filters or electricity, so it can be taken anywhere with you when you are traveling.

• Start out by coarsely grinding your coffee beans.
• After that, heat your water for brewing, but do not bring it to a boil.
• Mix together the coffee grounds and the hot water in your French Press, and stir.
• Allow this to steep for four minutes, and then press down the plunger to separate the coffee grounds from the brew product.
• Serve and enjoy right away!

Unique Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee

I'm sure that you have heard this term being buzzed around the coffee communities lately and hailed as one of the most popular and expensive beans that money can buy. And why is that, you might ask? Well, for one, the Blue Mountain region of Jamaica is at an extremely high altitude of 7,500 feet and covered by a dense fog that causes the beans to grow slower and be harvested so they are thicker and richer. Any beans that are cultivated in this region are regulated by The Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica so that they will say that they are 100% Jamaican Blue Mountain. The taste of the brew itself has acidity with a full body, and you can immediately smell intense aromas that are overpowering to your palette. It is wonderful to drink, and I definitely recommend trying it for a special and high-class coffee treat!
