Here are some tips for using a coffee press:
Start by heating your water to just below boiling point. The ideal temperature is around 195-205 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grind your coffee beans to a coarse consistency, similar to sea salt.
Add the coffee grounds to the press and pour the hot water over them. Make sure all the grounds are saturated with water.
Give the mixture a quick stir with a spoon or paddle to ensure that all the grounds are evenly distributed.
Let the coffee steep for about 3-5 minutes, depending on your taste preference.
After the coffee has finished steeping, slowly push down on the plunger until it reaches the bottom of the press.
Pour the coffee into your cup and enjoy!
Remember to always turn off the burner before adding coffee grounds and make sure the strainer basket is screwed onto the stem correctly. By following these steps, you can make a delicious cup of coffee using a press.
