Grinding coffee properly is key to a flavorful French Press experience.
A coarse, uniform grind is essential for even extraction and minimal sediment in French Press coffee.
Use a quality burr grinder to achieve the perfect coarse grind for a full-bodied coffee.
The ideal grind size for French Press coffee resembles sea salt for the perfect balance in extraction.
Dark roast beans are preferred for their strong flavors and oiliness, which are ideal for French Press brewing.
Always grind whole beans right before brewing for the freshest flavor and ideal coarseness.
Aim for a 1:12 coffee-to-water ratio to find the perfect brew strength for your taste.
Water should be just off the boil (195°F to 205°F), with coffee steeping for about four minutes.
