What do you look forward to every morning? For so many of us, coffee is the beverage of choice to wake up with every morning. That’s because coffee is both delicious, versatile, and easy to brew in your favourite coffee maker.
Brew your coffee in a French Press
A French Press is one of the most portable, easy methods of brewing coffee, but it’s also one of the most delicious.
How does a French Press work?
To use a French Press you need to grind your own coffee beans before you brew. Once you’ve ground your beans you place them in the bottom of the French Press and ‘wet’ the beans with a small amount of hot water. Wait about 30 to 45 seconds, stir, and fill the entire French Press up with hot water.
When it’s full, set your timer for 6 to 8 minutes. Once your time is up you can use the plunger and plunge down slowly from the top to the bottom.
French Press brands you can choose
There are several different types and styles of French press you can choose from. Bodum makes several different styles including stylish stainless steel and glass or portable plastic. Frieling French presses are also popular, and they look just as amazing when they are in your cupboard as they do when serving.
