How to use french press reddit. I have made coldbrew using my fp but would like a hot option. My fiancee actually prefers her kuerogg to our french press. The machine is a huge pain to use and you need to babysit it but i absolutely love the finished product. The best french press is the espro which filters out more insoluble particles than standard designs due to its double mesh and is easier to clean because of its basket. A french press works by putting in coffee and hot water give a quick stir then put the lid on.

Previously i had an aeropress but the small serving size annoyed me as i want around 4 cups of output. At the advise of tim hill from counter culture coffee however i actually have been grinding coffee pretty fine when i use a french press. The arguments here seem centered around the idea of avoiding a muddy cup of coffee. But damn i like it. I set it up and used the 6 tin of pre ground espresso coffee she gave me with it.

She says when i make it it s too thick and makes her jittery. He suggested that you should pour the coffee out of the press pot as if you were only using the lip of the pot to filter the coffee kind of like making cowboy coffee. Pour the water into your mugs to heat them up. Do i actually want to limit the particle size distribution. Is french press actually better with a consistent particle size.

Put the kettle back on the stove and keep the temperature high. Odds are i use a bit too much i scoop in 6 tbsp of beans into the grinder and i don t reset the grinder from its normal setting so probably my grind is too fine. After a desirable amount of time you press the plunger down which pushes all the grounds to the bottom so you can pour a clean cup of coffee. But the whole reason i got a french press is to get a thicker bolder cup. When your water reaches a boil pull it off the heat and pour 8 oz in the french press.

Gets me wired too. But if you use this hack you ll get the best brew out even the cheapest french press because you re effectively using it as a cup.
