Ten tips on how to make the perfect pot of french press coffee

1. Start with fresh roasted coffee, no older than 21 days.
2. Grind the coffee beans immediately before brewing.
3. Use a coarse grind.

4. Add 9-10 grams (about 2 T) of ground coffee per 6 oz of water to the press pot.

5. Use near boiling water (at least 200 degrees F).
6. Pour the water evenly over the coffee grounds, ensuring all of the coffee gets wet.

7. Set the top of the press over the wet grounds to help prevent heat loss.
8. Let coffee steep for 3-4 minutes.

9. By pressing the filter down, push all of the coffee grounds to the bottom of the pot.
10. Serve immediately and enjoy.
