They are not expensive and they can also be used +to brew tea and other drinks. I actually bought my first french press to make +tea, and only later found out I could brew coffee with it. + +## Ingredients + +The following ingredients are for one cup of black coffee: + +* 20g or 2 tablespoons coffee beans +* 300ml water + +You could buy already ground coffee, but freshly ground coffee beans give a +better taste. Just make sure you have a coffee grinder than can give you a +uniform medium/coarse grind. + +## Instructions + +1. Heat the water to below boiling. +2. While the water is heating, grind the beans. You should get a uniform + medium/coarse ground for best results. +3. Once the coffee is ground and water is hot enough, pour the ground coffee and + the water into the french press. +4. Close the beaker **without** lowering the plunger. Let it sit for 4 minutes. +5. Take a teaspoon and stir a bit so that the grounds at the top sit down. If + there's too much foam, remove the excess with the spoon. +6. Let it sit for another 4 minutes. +7. Once it's ready, slowly but steadily lower the plunger and pour the coffee to + your favorite mug. Enjoy! |
