So You Have A French Press. Now What? Making Coffee, Cold Brew, and Foamed Latte Milk At Home 

9 minutes of actual information. Three different types of coffee. Well-edited. Clear. Concise. Pleasing music at the perfect volume. No wasting time. Clearly narrated with no pretense. Thank you. So refreshing to watch a well-made clip, as opposed to a 15 minute video with 48 seconds of actual information. Bravo.

my life changed when i learned i could use my french press to froth my milk. my coffees have never been the same. great vid, really well done c:

When I’m in a hurry in the morning I just eat the coffee grounds 🤗

time stamps! (totally for a friend.. me) 1:23 basic hot coffee 4:22 lil cold brew 5:57 not a latte, but might as well be

I always like how you say to drink your coffee how you like it. I’m new to coffee and don’t like overly bitter things, so I add cream and usually caramel flavoring and it’s encouraging to see someone not be like “if you don’t enjoy it black you’re drinking coffee wrong”

I love how she says there's no right way to do it you do you. Everyone out here on RU-vid weighing shit into their $1k grinder saying there's no other way to make coffee. Refreshing

I started using my french press to froth milk and it's literally the best thing and more recently I got into drinking matcha but have no electric/bamboo whisk so I thought back to this video and decided to try use the french press. It worked really well and just wanted to leave this here in case it would help anyone else :)

I love how casual and open the coffee community you're building is! You're bringing so much new people into the coffee world!

I really like how happy and positive you are, that's something I need in my life. If you ever wanted to inspire someone, you've done it. Thanks a lot.

I love the sticky note on the fridge that just says "NO"

“Morgan drinks coffee” biggest understatement of the year. 😂

The hair cut!! 🔥🔥

Here is a fun thing that happened to me yesterday : I made a cold brew in a French press. It was so delicious that I drank it all within 3 hours. I ended up in the ER for breathing problems, they thought I had Covid but no it was an overdose of caffeine 😂 The lockdown apparently pulled my caffeine sensibility wayyy up! Anyway, thanks for your video 😘

When I do the last method, I make the french press coffee more concentrated (like an espresso shot) by doing a smaller amount of water to coffee. You get a bit of crema and super concentrated “shot” haha. The end result is close to a latte for sure

I don't even drink coffee, but I take great joy in seeing people do stuff they love. This is great.

I watched this video 2 years ago and just found out that she/they made it to the final round of world championship! She/they are such a gem!!

That milk frothing tip is INSANE I’m so excited to learn about this!

I'm a coffee lover who just got an espresso maker and put my French Press away but now I have more uses for it, thank you, I learned a few things and you are a great teacher.

Your channel is absolutely life changing for me... I love you

You’re the cutest human bean I’ve ever seen 😭🤩

i just impulse bought a french press yesterday, this video was perfect timing! thank you!!

I don't think I've clicked on a notification faster than this. Love your content. Not much into Tiktok, but your YT content is amazing! :)

I first started doing cold brew in my Ikea french press (hey, it was cheap, it works, and the plunger comes apart for easy cleaning). Until my wife discovered that she also likes cold brew and the french press wouldn't make enough for the two of us. So, I ended up getting one of those 1 gallon cold brew kits (glass bottle with a spout at the bottom and a perforated metal insert that hangs into the water from the top) from Amazon. Works really well and it is our summer brew. The gallon usually lasts the two of us 4-5 days. One thing that I've discovered, which might be an interesting topic to unpack for a future video, is some coffees really don't work well as cold brew. I get some really nice, nuanced beans as a monthly delivery from a local roaster. The beans are usually closer to a medium roast, and have really complex flavors when brewed through my regular drip coffee maker. But, the few times I've tried making cold brew with them, the flavor profile turns super floral. Kinda feels like grazing at the local florists... Not really my cup of coffee... So the video idea might be on how hot brew tastes differently from cold brew with the same beans.

Great video! Possible 4th thing you can do. I've done this and it comes out super tasty. Heat up a mixture of milk and water in your microwave (do not use an electric kettle for heating up milk) Water just makes it easier to heat up and run through the coffee because milk is thicker than water but you could just use milk. Setup your french press with coffee in it the way you would normally and pour the milk/water mix into your french press instead of normal water and brew it as you would normally. The coffee comes out a bit sweeter and creamier. Think of the difference between making hot chocolate with water vs with milk, same thing in this case.

I constantly use my French press for cold brew and I forget you can make hot coffee in it sometimes

French press is my favorite method of making coffee! I love the process and the coffee is sooo good!!! ❤️

Excellent video. Thank you. Two years ago I bought an Espro French Press and never looked back. I found your method to be perfect. Thank you for the new ideas. 🙂

Thank you for this video! I just got a french press for Christmas and haven't used it cuz I was afraid of "doing something wrong" so this video really helped!

this channel should be called "MorganSpillsCoffee". loved this video ❤️

My dad taught me how to use one of these and it's my favourite way to make coffee at home

I got a French press for my bday gift and I’m excited to do this!

I'm going camping next week, first solo camping trip and other people usually just make some instant coffee and we just call it a day. I'm going to do it in complete style for the first time! Thanks Morgan!

I started drinking black coffee because I wanted to stay awake, and I didn't like it. But now I love it.

I kept zoning out staring at the star wars art.

Love the little heart you made when you poured the steamed milk in the mug.

why hasn’t anyone ever told me you could “steam” milk like this?? thank you 😭😭😭

These videos are actually getting me interested in coffee again. Last few years I've just been doing the same old. Here's hoping she does an Irish Coffee one of these days.

You saved my day! My coffee pot stop working after 5 years D: I always had a press but never used it, and now this coffee tastes better than anything the coffee maker made! I’ve been missing out! Thank you ✨💕

I don't know how I am now watching and learning all about coffee for days now but I am here for it.

Oh God! I didn't know that I could make cold brew with a French press! I'm eternally grateful to you! 😭💕💕

I love to make your honey and cinnamon coffee with my french press. I will either add it with my coffee grounds or my warm milk Love your videos

I love your voice over explaining what you're doing on the video 😍. It's the perfect mixture of precise information + humor + easy to follow. Again, loved it! ❤

I’m a beginner at coffee stuff and when my mom is coming over this weekend I’m gonna try making French press cold brew coffee with some cocoa powder and cinnamon mixed in, and then a cold milk foam made also in the press with some cinnamon sprinkled on top, I hope it goes well

It shouldn’t be this easy to fall in love with someone 😳

French press coffee gets me through exam season

i make iced coffee cubes for my cold brew. just put some cooled coffee in some ice trays, and throw them in the freezer. when used, they wont water down your coffee when they melt..... works great

Just made coffee in mine. It’s so yummy!!!😍 i put cream and maple syrup and vanilla in it and topped it with a little whipped cream! I’m in LOVE! Thank you for this video !

Never thought i needed a french press until now

Just bought a French press and looked up how to use it... omg you’re so cute! Great video and I subscribed :)

I used to only drink double espresso, black coffee or black cold brew. Tried your steamed milk suggestion and it's amazing, the aeration worked really well! I might just be converted to it!

I justt found this one where you show us how to use a French Press👍 ive always wanted To Learn THANKS💕

Distilled water has problems with extraction due to lack of ions, soft water should be used, James Hoffman has a great video about that (he talks about it in filter jugs comparison)

Microwave timer: "Three.. Two.. One.. Ze-" Human: "okay that's enough waiting"

I'm super tired and my uncaffeinated brain forgot how to french press. This is like the 5th video I clicked on after searching "french press how to" and in the time it took you to explain how to use a french press, the other 4 videos hadn't even given me any relevant information. Thank you for being succinct, informative and not using loud, abrasive guitar loops in your video.

how not to love someone who makes videos about various ways to make caffe

I feel like James Hoffman and I are the weirdos that never plunges the french press, pouring first and leaving it up all the way through. You seem so comfortable on screen that maybe you want to look into the world of competition coffee.

Gonna get myself a French press n ground coffee although I dun drink coffee. Miss the days being a barista ❤️

I just got a french press from a thrift store and had no clue how to use it. You were the only person I wanted to show me how to use it!

My boyfriend got me a mini French press for Christmas and I had no idea how to use it for cold brew! Omg I just made my first and now we wait to see how it turns out

Tiny detail, you can heat the glass of the press up by swirling some hot water around the glass BEFORE you add the grounds. Also what is the ratio of grounds to water for cold brew?

I literally yelled "this is that pretty barista from tiktok!!!!" I'm glad I'm home alone lmaooo

THE FOAMING OF THE MILK TRICK IS PURE GENIUS OMG THANK YOU

Thank You! I only started drinking coffee a couple of years ago and just recently bought a French press. You definitely have a gift for what you do! You have that "thing" that makes you attractive to anyone and relatable to anyone! Even if I didn't drink coffee, I would have enjoyed this vid! 😊

YES latte attempt at home.And my wife made fun of me having a french press

Just ordered the mountain mug. It’s so pretty! Now I need to buy a French press 😂

super cooool thanx.When i went too see my mom in the UK she had no coffee machine but a french press and i learned too use it but now i think im going too get one for good coffee on camping/ surf trips

i just used this to make a cup of coffee from a french press and coffee grounds that i got for christmas from my mum... can totally see why people are snobs about coffee; there is a right and wrong way. btw, that latte trick is just genius i used it with some oat milk as im lactose intolerant, LOVED IT😍 (though i was not able to make the art hehe)

Seriously been trying to make latte art and have a French press. It’s definitely like you said a hit or miss because I can’t get rid of the bubbles! Don’t know wha him doing wrong but thank you for the video!

The coffee, the star wars, the personality and the amazing hair....can we be best friends???

Coffee cubes are a staple for me since all I drink is iced coffee, in the years i’ve been drinking coffee never bought a french press. I have small mason jars for mixing my syrup and milk. I want a french press now, for cold brew I just put coffee and water in a pitcher, and put it in the fridge. Then I use my coffee maker to strain it, the french press makes it look so much easier.

Honestly I love your videos because you know what you’re talking about but aren’t elitist

I was distracted by the shelving filled with snacks in the background. Anyone else?

I really like these voice over videos. Sort of James Hoffman meets Binging with Babish vibes.

That milk foaming a hack is brilliant.

That was so awesome. I just bought my first coffee press from Starbucks and I'm so going to make some milk foam. Also I've never had a coffee press so when I bought the beans and had Starbucks grind them I asked for really fine thinking that's what I need for a late but it actually turned out perfect Their was no fine grounds in my coffee. I pushed down the press ever so slowly and it was perfecto. Thank you so so much‼🕊☕

Never thought of foaming milk like this! James Hoffman also has a good (a bit more involved) technique for a French Press, have a look.

Frothing milk in this is just genius!!! 😀 I won’t need a fiddly frother with batteries, and my French press becomes a multi-function device!

Best easy coffee ☕ video. I have the French press but never knew how to use it. Thanks 👌.

in france, we call this device "an italian press"

hi 💕 if u are seeing this I just want to let you know you are beautiful even if you don’t realize it

Great job Morgan. I'm a 70 year old African American woman. I just learned something from you. Thank you!

The host of this video is just adorable. She is both helpful and fun to watch!! Thank you for all the advice.

Idk about coffee man, but you're just so gorgeous it's breathtaking 🔥

Everytime i make the "latte" or cafe au lait. I never end up getting to create the latte art I desire. even though I follow all the steps morgan mentioned. is it possible to overstretch the milk?

I see this vid was made 2 years ago. I enjoyed you're cute playful personality and I couldn't help but hope the past 2 years hasn't changed that! Thanks for the coffee press info. Got my first one this year.

Thank you! I live in a country that doesn't have a big coffeee culture other than 3 in 1 or iced coffee from mcdonalds and I recently got a french press. This helps a lot.

I would love to know where you obrained that French Press with the nifty little scoop!

To say it with the words of Russ Hanneman: "This guy ...."

The milk frothing thing is something I've never heard of that's very cool. I like to brew 1 cup at a time in a french press using milk steamed to 180 for 5 minutes or so. Also you should try making coffee ice cream by cold brewing coffee in whipping cream (dairy or non-dairy both work). You basically just make any flavor ice cream using your cold brew cream in place of plain cream.

Literally spilled my coffee watching this vid and had to pause to put my clothes in the wash, lol. Great idea to use the French press for cold brew! I bought a cold brew pitcher on Amazon that was highly rated and it's junk. Makes weak AF coffee. Can't wait to try this technique 💕

Any thoughts on how to ensure you do not “overfoam” your milk (get too much air into it, making it difficult to pour latte art because even the liquid base is too foamy)? Is there a best amount of air? Should you be looking to double the original volume of milk?

Damn. Forgot to buy a barista apron for my French press in my home, looks like I'll not be using it for a while until I get one 😕

you have been promoted to my favorite coffee expert! Congratulations!!!

i want to say your definitely doing what most are scared of is using there phone. this a great quality video with very equipment. and it helped me with what i was trying to learn, great job...

I love you youre the best here and tik tok

Before plunging, scoop off the top layer of scum. It makes everything else easier and keeps plunger from getting clogged.. From Hoffman the youtube coffee guru. Check him out

I just tried the trick for the milk and WOW, I'm loving it!!

Thank you for showing how to use the French press. The coffee mugs are cute.

Can the “Milk” part be Almond Milk too?

Im sorry, im just really distracted by how mesmerising you look.
