☕️ Quick Coffee Facts

French Press Like a Pro: Tips for the Perfect Cup

☕ Rich, bold, and full-bodied coffee is just a press away! Learn the fundamentals of French press coffee, from the cylindrical pot to the perfect brewing ratio.

👅 Get the perfect cup with a 1:16 water-to-coffee ratio, coarse grinds, and a 3-4 minute steep. Experiment with ratios and steeping times to tailor the strength to your taste buds!

🌱 Choose the right beans for a richer flavor - medium to dark roast, freshly roasted, and Arabica beans are the way to go! Experiment with single-origin beans for unique flavor profiles.

⚙️ Grind those beans just before brewing for a more nuanced and rich taste. Freshly ground beans retain volatile compounds for a delightful aroma and have more surface area for thoroughly extracting oils and flavors.

💧 Experiment with brewing times, coffee-to-water ratios, and spices to create unique flavors. Use your French press to make tea or infused beverages, and serve over ice for a refreshing summer drink!
