Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 tbsp coffee whole beans
  • 6-8 oz hot water
  • coffee fixings as desired

Equipment

  • 1 French Press
  • 1 Kettle Electric or Stovetop
  • 1 Coffee Grinder

Method
 

  1. Start off by heating your water to boiling. Once there, you can let it cool slightly.
  2. While your water is heating up, grind your beans until they resemble chunky sand.
  3. Measure your grounds into the French press, and pour the hot water over the top.
  4. Carefully, stir with a spoon. Place the plunger piece over the top and rest the filter piece right on top of the brewing coffee. You should also make sure that the strainer piece for the spout is closed to help keep the heat in.
  5. Set a timer for 6-10 minutes.
  6. Press the filter piece down, and pour your coffee into your mug. Add cream, sugar, or whatever you wish, and enjoy!
