Water to Coffee Ratio

For a standard french press, a general guideline is to use a coffee-to-water ratio of 1:15. Measure your coffee based on this ratio, adjusting it to suit your taste preferences.

For example, if you’re using 30 grams of coffee, you’ll need approximately 450-510 milliliters of water.

Directions

Grind the coffee beans to a coarse consistency, resembling sea salt. Avoid grinding too fine, as this can lead to over-extraction and sediment in your cup.

Preheating your french press helps maintain the temperature of the brewed coffee. Rinse the french press with hot water, then discard the water.
