I sort of hesitate to call this a “tutorial”, as if I’m some sort of expert or something. I asked for this French Press for Christmas and have been using it every single day since. I was a Keurig girl, through and through, until I realized how much better I like freshly ground and brewed coffee.
What you’ll need:
– whole coffee beans (and container)
(or you can grind your beans at the grocery store/coffee shop)
– a kettle (or means of boiling water)
– mug, obviously (“Cat Mom” mug here)
Start by heating up your water in your kettle. You want it to be just under boiling.
While your water is heating up, coarse grind your beans. My grinder doesn’t have a setting for how well ground the beans should be, so I just eyeball it. I use enough beans to make 4 cups of coffee (there are hashmarks inside my grinder for 4, 8, 10, and 12 cups, so I go off of that).
Once the water is ready and the coffee grounds are in the french press, I pour just a little bit, maybe 1/2 cup of water, on the grounds and let that sit for about 30 seconds. This lets the coffee “bloom”, which should allow for richer flavor.
After 30 seconds, I slowly pour the rest of the water in, nearly to the top of the press, and let it brew for 4 minutes. If you like stronger coffee, you can use less water. If you like weaker coffee, you can let it brew for a shorter amount of time. I’ve found this combination of beans/brew time to be my favorite, so that’s what I do!
When the 4 minutes is up, slowly press down and pour your coffee! (The press has instructions to stir before pressing down, but I’ve found that there is no difference if I just press down without the stirring). I found this helpful resource, if you need assistance with how much coffee and water to use! Like I said, I make 4 cups worth. I like to have a big cup first thing in the morning, and then reheat the leftovers later in the morning or in the afternoon, if I need a boost! If you don’t use all the coffee on the first pour, make sure to put the rest in another mug. You don’t want to leave your coffee in the press with the grounds, as it will continue to brew and get bitter!
It’s best to use freshly-ground beans, so keep that in mind. If you have a Starbucks Rewards account, you can get reward points for buying their packaged coffee, either in store or at the grocery store! The whole process takes maybe 10 minutes, depending on how quickly the water boils. It’s not quite as convenient as a morning cup of joe from the Keurig, but it sure tastes good!
WOW!!!
This is the most wonderful thing i have ever experience and i need to share this great testimony.
About how i get my ex back after a breakup.
I never believed it, because i never heard nor learn anything about it before.
My name is Minerva D. Taylor from UK
My boyfriend of a 2year just broke up with me and am 28 weeks pregnant. I have cried my self to sleep most of the nights and don’t seem to concentrate during lectures sometimes I stay awake almost all night thinking about him and start to cry all over again. Because of this I end up not having energy for my next day’s classes, my attendance has dropped and am always in uni and on time. Generally he is a very nice guy, he ended it because he said we were arguing a lot and not getting along. He is right we’ve been arguing during the pregnancy a lot. After the break up I kept ringing him and telling him I will change. I am in love with this guy and he is the best guy I have ever been with. I’m still hurt and in disbelief when he said he didn’t have any romantic feelings towards me anymore that hurt me faster than a lethal syringe. He texts me once and then mainly to check up on how am doing with the pregnancy, he is supportive with it but it’s not fair on me, him texting me as I just want to grieve the pain and not have any stress due to the pregnancy. i was really upset and i needed help, so i searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Dr Adams can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and i did it then he did a spell for me. 28 hours later, my boyfriend came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my boyfriend are living together happily again..
