I’m going to have a small French press for my coffee, as I’ve spent a little more than I wanted to on my first hand grinder so I’ll be saving my pennies for a good while. What’s your preferred ratio of water to coffee when making a French press? What’s your technique for brewing? I prefer a light roast, if that matters (?)
Some folks make coffee their religion (and there’s nothing wrong with that). I grind a Mason jar’s worth of Costco Espresso beans at a time, using a cheap KitchenAid grinder. Dump a heaping, hard-scooped 1/3 cup of it into a Bodum French press. Florishly fill with boiling water to just above the metal ring. Steep for 10 minutes, then serve. I don’t stir it, or wait for it to bloom before filling to the top. Turns out great every time.
Which grinder did you pick ?
Update, it’s pretty good! I don’t have anything to compare it to but I love the coffee I’m drinking
Awesome!
