There are many urban legends and myths regarding the French press. Here are 5 common mistakes people (including myself) tend to make. Of course, it should go without saying that keeping your French press clean is ultra important too, and that bean quality and freshness are essential.

You have complicated the whole process!!! I roasted fresh coffee add a European roastery for many years and I have been using the French press for probably over 20 years!! Grind 3 to 4 tbsp of fresh coffee beans put that into the French press add hot water to the very top and stir allow that to rest for the time that it takes to smoke a cigarette slowly plunge the press to the very bottom and you will have the best coffee that you have ever drank!!! You're making it far too complicated

I’ve been using a French pot for 40 years. I learned while living in Norway. It’s pretty simple medium to large grind preferably burr to put in English, I probably used 2 ounces of ground coffee per 8 ounces of water. I grind the coffee, heat the water, put the coffee in the press pot, add boiling water, put the press on the top, then press at about 4 minutes. Perfect coffee every time. And I am a coffee snob. I also managed to wash everything extremely well after I’ve used the French press and the grinder. No weird motor oil taste.

These topics -- stirring, breaking crust, plunging -- have been studied and pontificated upon endlessly; and, the verdict is, everyone has the right answer, and everyone else is wrong. At the end of the day, one just has to have a decent starting-point, whence to play around, figure out what one likes, develop one's habits into strong and pernicious dogma, never change one's ways, then eventually die a meaningless death.

@daven953 3 месяца назад

Well Sir, thanks for all your info. I have been using the French press for over 20 years. My method is similar. Although in my glass press, I use a chopstick , less chance of breakage. Then, give it a vigorous stir, put the plunger in to just above the crust. Then, place a dish towel around the press to hold in the heat. I then leave it to 8-10 minutes. It's the strength I like. Other than that, I follow your method. I have found that bean choice is important. What tastes good in drip, doesn't always work for the French press. The carafe was a huge improvement in the last cup or so. Sitting in the grinds to long makes for a bitter coffee. My alternative for coffee now and again is cowboy coffee method. Cheers everyone.

It doesn't "press" unless you've overloaded it with grounds. It's just basically a filter system after doing immersion brewing. And then you gotta clean all these parts (and the screen has sharp edges.) I just pour boiling water over grounds in a big mason jar, then stir and wait four minutes. Then I filter into the serving cup with a re-usable nylon filter and mason jar funnel. Same coffee. Easy clean.

@gnrands50 4 месяца назад

Everyone has different tastes. I preheat my French press by filling it with boiling water before starting. I toss this water, add coffee ground as fine as possible (espresso grind), pour in distilled water that is boiling, and let it steep for 3 - 5 minutes before gently pressing. A bit of silt at the bottom of my cup is just fine with me, as long as the brew is dark & strong.

I like Hoffmans version just because it prolongs the life of my Jetboils press. By not forcing it, and pouring through the crust I also thinknits acting like an extra filter as you said while not putting any undue stress or pressure on the equipment. I use 35g medium course grind on 500ml in my Jetboil, after the first cup I oress down again until I get to the top of the liquid.

Here's how you can still make French press coffee: 1. Clean all devices thoroughly. 2. Preheat the French press with warm water. 3. Coarsely grind the desired amount of coffee. 4. I like to use filtered water. 5. Coffee in the press, hot water and the pot in a vacuum chamber. 6. Wait 4 to 5 minutes. Done.

Funny enough, about 1 year ago, I was using the french press quite a lot. Until I broke it by accident. I was having deceiving cup, and didn't have the patience to properly skim the top like in the hoffmann recipe. So I had an idea similar to yours. I got the plunger out, pop-it onto classique melitta filter, cut the filter to a circle. And from one melitta paper filter, i was getting two round filter to add on the bottom of my plunger I was putting one of those filter at the bottom of the plunger for each brew and Sticking it like an aeropress filter on a inverted aeropress method And I was having some realy great result, some really clear brew. Then my french press fall on the ground and the glass broke, and I got an aeropress insted, since I'm brewing for two person at most

@stephenshoihet2590 6 месяцев назад

I was using my bodum pour over but i recently got a new (to me) coffee grinder so I'm experimenting with the French press again 🙂 I like my coffee on the cooler side so I don't mind that extra time for the French press because it's too hot for me to drink anyway.

@DanielSnyder-bz8kp 5 месяцев назад

I have the Espro french press. I have the P0 for a single cup and the P7 for 2 or 3 cups. It has 2 mesh filters, fine and super fine. I also use a paper filter with it. In reviews it has been docked for not tasting "french-pressy" enough because it filters too fine. I don't feel the need to fit neatly in categories. The Espro with a paper filter kinda tastes like a cross between a pour-over and a french press. It's also fast and easy. You could probably be retarded and still make a good cup. Ok , maybe not that last one.

@PursuingHeaven 4 месяца назад

I find that people over complicate the process, especially the guru James- I am not going to wait five mins AFTER its brewed. I have been brewing intuitively for over 20 years and most of what you said I do but my process is slightly different. I grind my beans past a course but before a powder. I have a cheap grinder and I just keep an eye on it and turn it upside on the last second or two of spin. I then scoop out 1 level tablespoon of grounds for every 2 oz of water plus a tablespoon or two for the whole batch depending on the roast of the coffee. So for my standard 12 oz French Press brew I put in six tablespoons plus 1 or 2. I have found just as said above you need a little more. I pour water just under boiling at the bottom third, and stir to get it mixed then fill the rest of the way and let it sit for 5 mins and yes it builds a crust-just leave it the alone, that is magic at work! I plunge then decant then serve and I only decant because I don't always drink 12 oz. I will put the left over in in the refrigerator for ice coffee later (makes great ice coffee because it is already strong). I never have bitter gritty brew, just smooth strong groundless coffee and its been this way long before RU-vid lol. I do have a small strainer incase it doesn't go accordingly, usually due to the grinding process but I rarely use it. I will also say I like very strong coffee because I always use cream-the real cream.

@cycoklr Месяц назад

I've only used the french press since the pandemic broke. For decades I drank coffee from a dripper, percolator, espresso machine, moka pot and instant. I prepare my coffee to satisfy my taste and not necessarily following popular and tried methods. The ratio I use depends on the beans I'm using, how they're roasted and how coarse I grind them. I gulp the dregs at the bottom of my cup too. For now, french press is my preferred method.

@karimchahine4883 9 месяцев назад

Nice tips, though I'm not convinced about decanting. Yes the temperature is lowered and you mix, but how is it an additional step to get rid of fines? Also I don't think brew time should be used as a variable to dial in anyways. We want long times to let the grounds settle on the bottom, so we probably already are at the ceiling of extraction for any given sensible set of parameters.

@acorneau 9 месяцев назад

Asser; I really enjoy the videos and appreciate the knowledge and insight you bring to the general coffee connoisseur. However, as a long-time french press user I feel like this technique, as well as your previous "paper filter" technique, are too focused on "no sediment at all costs" at the expense of that rich, full-bodied mouth feel that a french press is known for. (Yes, I tried both!) Perhaps it's a bit of a preference. Example... Someone gave me an Aeropress Go as a gift for when I travel, which is more and more lately. After trying multiple/various recipes using the provided paper filters, I finally found a brew method that was much closer to the coffee that I get from my french press at home... by using a metal filter (an Able standard disc). I'm using a version of your "Aeropress big batch" method in order to get 400ml of coffee out of that little brewer (I normally brew 500ml in my Frieling press at home). For me, paper filters remove too much of the natural oils and subtle texture that I truly appreciate in my normal brew. Anyway, I'm sure I will continue to enjoy your videos for a long time to come. Keep up the good work!

@coffeechronicler 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the kind words and thoughtful objection :) I understand where you're coming from and know many other people are in the same boat. However, to clarify my stance, I would say that I'm only anti-sediment. I am indeed "pro" the rich and full-bodied texture. With coffee oils, I think they can bring something to the cup, so I occasionally use filters or brewing methods with that in mind; for instance the new non-woven cone filters, nel drip, and RS16 just to name a few :)

When you're already using a paper filter you don't need the crust for additional filtration. It will actually make it a bit more challenging to plunge. But if you're just brewing press the regular way, the crust is useful.

@coffeechronicler that's reasonable!! Thx for your answer!

So, am I correct that points 2 & 3 are for distinct methods, they don't go together? If I pour half the water, stir, then pour the rest, then after steeping I use the plunger against the crust, then I don't have to (in fact, should NOT) skim it, and don't have to wait the 5 extra minutes before pouring? I'm having a hard time figuring out how exactly to do Hoffman's method. I still seem to get silty coffee even though I think I'm following his method 100%. Am I not skimming enough? Am I not using the plunger correctly (he describes not plunging it down at all, just resting it on top of the coffee)?

Yes, correct. I don't recommend breaking or skimming for most regular FP recipes. The only exception is if you're doing a method like Hoffmann's or my own paper-filtration technique, which I shared in another video.

My solution is to use the same grind for both my pour over and the same V60 filter over the plunger. You can try to make the grinds a little courser and I find 3 minutes and 30 seconds to start plunging and pour around the 4-minute mark to be best. However, pour overs are a lot easier and a lot less messier imo. Especially if you're making coffee first thing in the morning and you're sort of awake.

So, whats the best way to add hot water if you dont have a kettle? Im American and really dont want to buy another appliance 😂 just boil a pot on the stove and hope it doesnt spill down the sides when im pouring it in?

@oceanlbi 3 месяца назад

that's what I do and it doesn't spill, it's fine

An electric kettle is not a big space appliance so it’s worth getting. Also all your tea drinking friends will be glad you have it. Pouring from a stove kettle is awkward and can be an easy way to burn yourself. Not worth it.

I place the french press in my kitchen sink and pour the water in the french press and i never spill any water@@oceanlbi

@@JP-lu9edI actually burned my hand more often using the kettle because the handle was so close to the kettle do using a handled saucepan is way easier because the long handle is easier to control

in drip coffee coffeee has much shorter contact to water, making it harder for it to give its aroma to the liquid. isn't french press the opposite? the coffee is in water all the time, so a less amount of ground coffee should be used?

@coffeechronicler 4 месяца назад

No, it's the opposite way because drip coffee continually introduces new water that rinses out coffee molecules into a different container. Because coffee grounds retain 2 times their weight in liquids, you end up with a more concentrated coffee with drip. With French press all the coffee molecules are mixed with more water. At first it's very counterintuitive and hard to understand, but then it makes sense :)

I actually like it right out of the French press. I know it’s hot but that’s one of the things I like about it. It’s super hot so it stays hot all the way to last bit that you drink
