Brewing Methods

French press coffee works best with coarse grounds and longer steeping times. Fine grounds can lead to bitterness and a muddy texture.

A steep time of around four minutes is a great starting point. After adding water, a gentle stir helps promote even extraction.

French press naturally produces a heavier, oilier body, since the oils and micro‑particles remain in the cup.

Quick Tip: For a cleaner flavor, skim off the floating grounds before pressing the filter down.
