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.
