This is the best video I have seen on making coffee using the French press! I’ve had my French press for 5 years and just now able to understand perfectly how to use it. Thanks a thousand times sir!!!
I had it but I never knew That is French Press ,I actually thought French Press is called That Coffee Maker where you put the Coffee on top and it drains down to the Big Cattle underneath ,like The One Ronnie Coleman used ,now with this thing man I can make Coffee even out in the wild...now I can finally go make That Wooden Gym out in The Russian Taiga.... and don't have anything to worry about....🤣
I drink it all and have never had any sludge in my coffee,that mesh filter under the metal filter should stop any large particles .just take it apart and clean with hot water after wards and there should be nothing but coffee pouring into your cup .

Thank you! I’ve been using one for YEARS and my coffee always sucks and there’s grounds floating all over.. 🤦♂️ This explained to grind my own, I’ve been buying the super fine pre-ground stuff. I never let it steep, I’d just pour boiling water in and plunge down quickly right after. Then to make it even worse, I’d pour it way quick. Just made a cup like how you explained here and this is great! Still some grounds but that’s because I bought the pre ground next time I’ll grind my own and keep it coarse. And thank you for not having ads baked in or making it a video of a face taking. I learn best by seeing the actions done. Ty x5! 🎉
You should definitely not pour boiling water on your coffee grounds..the water should be just lower than boiling as boiled water is too hot and causes a bitter taste from your coffee
Don’t have a French press. Will never have a French press. Will watch a video on how to use a French press. Edit: A) holy crap! I can't believe it's been 2 years since I watched this video! 2) I can't remember why I was educating someone on queefs but it may have been bc my username at one time was QueefQueen 🤪😭😭
Currently using the pour over method for my work week coffee making, and drip on the weekends. Pour over works great as well. Strong coffee in the end. Always wondered about the press method and what the hell is it. I’m welling to give it a try but I actually don’t have any complaints from my current setup. My only question about the press method how quickly can I dispose of the grounds and where does it go when you are pressing down?
I love how every video regarding a French press avoids showing how much coffee they actually put in, or recommend. They just cut right to pouring it in..
I have the same press. My method…Take favorite coffee cup, nuke water for 2:25, pour hot water over 4/5 tablespoons of Cafe Bustelo in the press, wait about 5 minutes, press that coffee, pour into coffee mug/cup that’s been pre-loaded with desired amount of granulated Sugar In The Raw & a bit of Half & Half, stir and enjoy.
I think it’s a crazy coincidence I just bought a press spontaneously along with a bag of coffee and it’s the same kicking horse brand featured in your video
now i know why my coffee wasn´t that good. I was just pouring hot water over the ground coffee, and then just pushing the plunger down immediately. thanks
i always had instant coffee be4 going for a long college day & had no idea how to use a french press & i was like “pootan”, but thx 🙏 to this vid i helped me
like it but more of a mess to clean. Whilst camping a drip pour with filters is good because you can just burn the filter and coffee grounds in the fire put whilst in the bush.
I’m not arguing with anything said in this video, it’s a fine first go, but another guy I watch on RUclips said you pour the (not boiling) water on top of the coarse grounds, leave it about five minutes with lid off, (not sure why lid off), then scoop the sediment and foam off the top, place the lid back on, but don’t push the filter down into the coffee. Leave it just above. Carefully pour the coffee out. By not exciting any of the sediment in the bottom of the cafetière, you reduce the bitterness. Some of the best coffee I’ve made.
Sadley you didn't show how to assemble the press for a newcomer! I bought my first ever coffee maker but on arrival I find the bottom piece, shown in description, not in the box. I am trying to find whether this is an error or an unnecessary part. But interesting just the same.
I just do 2 heaping teaspoons for one cup of coffee sometimes 3 but pour a little water on it to get the ground wet for 30 seconds then pour the water and cover it. I bloom my coffee. Also make sure its not to fine. Use coarsely ground coffee and make sure the water isn't super boiled. Just right before it starts to boil
The bags I get are grinded already and it says 2 heaping table spoons for 6 oz. I like stronger so I do 3. Also I don't mind burnt taste coffee either.
The only way to make coffee, in my opinion. However, for best results, don't bring the water to a full boil. Pour the water just before it reaches the boiling point. Boiling water will actually burn your beans. :-)
There is some incorrect offhand information in this video! Nothing that is a huge deal, but 1) "You want coarser grounds to release the good stuff." Actually, a finer grind has more surface area, which is what would release the good stuff. The reason for a coarse grind is actually for a slower extraction since it is an immersion method (all of the coffee is submerged and touching the water at the same time -- opposed to a drip style, which has less water contact at any given second). 2) "Darker roasts, because they are drier and more brittle, will extract faster" Darker roasts extract faster because they are more soluable/porous, because they have been chemically broken down during the roasting process more than light roasts
We were just gifted a bag of coffee after a friend returned from Costa Rica this week. I have not opened it, but it feels like it was finely ground, and I was wondering if there are French Presses that can handle this?
Got my first french press. Tomorrow, I'll be figuring out how long to steep. Start out with 4 min and then increase by 1 min. Coffee machines are just too expensive.
For the ratio, when you say for every 1 cup of coffee, are you referring to a 5oz or 8oz cup? I keep seeing instructions using 5oz as a cup, so want to double-check.
It all depends on how you define a "cup." In a drip coffee maker 1 cup usually means 5 ounces of water before the brewing cycle. So if you have a 5-cup drip coffee maker, then the total water capacity would be 25 ounces. However, the French press shown here is 12 ounces (or 3 cups) in capacity. So here 1 cup would be only 4 ounces. Cheers. ☕
Why there is a need of French press? It seems like, in the same way we can also make coffee by boiling water, add into the cup and pour coffee in it, and then we filter it. So, what's the difference between this manual process and French press?
My dude literally says it in the video 3 tbsp ground coffee per 1 cup of hot water. If you're worried about the ratio pour the hot water in your cup and then pour it into the press to make sure you get it right
Sorry to be negative, but this guide is bad. Search elsewhere for proper way to brew with French Press. Never pour boiling water on your grounds. No mention of scale or timer. Beans don't look fresh at all. Ooph. Good production value though, i'll give it that.
Hey man, this is a beginners guide for people who just want a cup of coffee in the morning like me. I'm not here for the perfect cup, I make French press cuz it's cheap and easy
If you mean standard ground coffee in the bags ,no because the grind is too fine and goes against the French press so the plunger doesn't go to the bottom
Some people like my brother insists he does but I tried it one time and I couldn't push the press down because the grind was so fine there was not enough air between the water and coffee and itvwas like trying to push the bar down through dry cement

True
Exactly!!
around 82-85° C for Dark roasted
85-90°C for medium
87- 95°C for light roasted
by my experience at home.
True. I wait for a few mins after boiling it.
This actually isn't true, James Hoffman did a video debunking this.

Can you use canned coffee grounds in this?
Awesome Video! Thank you 😊

How much water do you add?

Yes enough water for the cup you want use
