French press coffee
My French press is one of my favorite kitchen tools. I dislike drinking coffee made any other way. Since we've grown accustomed to using the French press, we usually prefer coffee at home rather than going out! Here's how it works: * Start with good quality, fresh roasted, freshly ground coffee beans. * We grind the beans in our burr grinder. (Burr grinders provide a consistent grind; for the French press, select a grind on the coarse end of the spectrum.) * Put the kettle on the stove to boil. * Fill the press with hot water to prep the glass container. * Once the water is boiling on the stove, dump warm water out of the press, place grounds in the press, and fill the press with boiling water. * Don't forget to turn off the stove. * Let the coffee steep until it reaches desired strength, usually 5 minutes or less. * Insert the plunger into the press, effectively straining the grounds out of the coffee. * Pour a cup, add cream and/or sugar if desired, and enjoy! Benefits: * We've found that coffee made in a French press is less bitter than brewed coffee. * Because we enjoy the flavor more, we're less likely to spend money going out for coffeehouse coffee. So it's good for the budget. * We also really enjoy the ritual of it. It doesn't take long, but it's a nice routine process.
