The French press is a wonderfully simple and uncomplicated way to make a delicious cup of coffee .
Coffee .
Like all food tastes best when fresh and freshly ground coffee even better .
Look for freshly roasted coffee with a light roast or filter roast profile .
Remember that the darker the roast , the more burnt flavors and bitterness you're going to have in your cup , remove the plunger from your French press and set aside .
Pour 120 mL of filtered water into your kettle for every cup you intend to make and let it come to the boil as you prepare , set your bottom grinder to the French press setting and grind your freshly roasted coffee for filter with the spoon provided feel one spoon level for every cup you intend to make .
Start the four minute countdown on your boredom timer and begin to add the water from the kettle pouring slowly in circular motions to make sure you wet the grounds evenly , pour until the kettle is empty and then leave to rest .
When the countdown is finished , break the cross that has formed on the surface in three motions back and forth .
Put the plunger in and press down slowly , poor and enjoy .
