How to Brew Coffee in a French Press


To brew your coffee with a French Press you will need 50g of coarsely ground coffee, 28oz of nearly-boiling water, a scale (to measure out what you need), and a timer. The entire brewing process takes about 4 minutes, give or take 30 seconds or so. Preheat your French Press by rinsing it with hot water, and be sure to have a separate serving device ready (or a large mug!) ready to transfer the coffee to as soon as it’s finished brewing.


  • Add the ground coffee and start your timer – add all the water from beginning to the 30 second mark.
  • Stir with a spoon to saturate all of the grounds and place the plunger on top, let it sit for 3 minutes.
  • At 3:30 slowly start to sink the plunger down over :30 seconds.
  • At 4:00 minutes pour the brewed coffee into a separate service vessel, swirl and enjoy!
