I've had this cute little french press for forever but I've neglected using it because I didn't know how. I read the directions but what kept throwing me off is the type of coffee grounds you are supposed to use. Finally, I Googled it. In case you're wondering how to use your own french press too, here's how to do it:
- 1. Preheat the french press by running hot water in it and on the plunger. (hot, not boiling.)
- 2. Place about 3-5 spoonfuls of coffee grounds. I use the ground blend. (Not super fine or fine but the one I use looks pretty fine to me, like regular coffee grounds.)
- 3. Mix a little hot water in so that the grounds and the water mix nicely together, then stir.
- 4. Now, add hot water up to the top of the french press leaving about an inch of room from the top.
- 5. Place the plunger in the press and press down until you can't anymore.
