If you're in a hurry, this really isn't gonna work for you.

This is a really great way to make coffee.

But it's not very quick.

You need a little bit of patients that will be rewarded.

You need to get some delicious coffee.

Delicious means fresh, like freshly roasted.

And you're gonna grind it fresh if you want the best possible experience.

This will work with pre ground coffee, but it won't taste as good as it could.

So grind fresh.

I would recommend starting between 60 and 70 grams per liter.

How you like it is up to you get some digital weighing scales.

This is gonna seem insane, but I promise you it's incredibly useful. 00:00:59.250 --> 00:01:1.010 There are two reasons to use it. 00:01:1.280 --> 00:01:3.550 You brew coffee that tastes really good. 00:01:3.990 --> 00:01:8.970 You want to do that every single time you brew it and therefore knowing what you did is the way to get there. 00:01:9.300 --> 00:01:12.060 The alternative is that you brought a bad cup of coffee.

Now you know what you're changing when you try something different the next time, and it will make life so much easier.

Fresh, clean, soft water don't brew with hard water.

Don't brew with unfiltered water.

It doesn't taste delicious on its own.

It's not gonna make great tasting coffee.

So here's how this is gonna work and grind your coffee.

Put it in the French press.

Ignore what most people say.

Don't grind super coarse.

Grind something more like you.

Describe his medium.

Boil your water.

Don't worry too much about this as long as it's boiled and then pull the right amount of water on top. 00:01:53.620 --> 00:02:0.320 I might prove 30 grams of coffee to 500 grand's water, and then we're gonna let it sit for four minutes. 00:02:0.330 --> 00:02:1.050 Just hang out. 00:02:1.540 --> 00:02:3.180 Wait, be patient. 00:02:5.860 --> 00:02:8.600 I'm gonna grab a couple of tablespoons with one of them. 00:02:8.680 --> 00:02:12.000 We're going to stir the crust that forms on top of the coffee.

A lot of it will start to fall away and that you be left with some bits on top, some foams and floating bits.

You want to scoop those off just thrown down the sink.

It's fine now.

Here's the bit that seems difficult.

I want you to do nothing at all for a least five minutes.

Now, this is a little frustrating because you feel like you've brewed the coffee.

But even if you put it into a cup, it's too hot to drink right now anywhere.

And the longer you leave it, the better it's gonna taste as you sit all of those floating bits start to fall down to the bottom of the press and settle in that bed of coffee.

This is exactly what we want.

We don't want those in the cup.

We want this stuck down at the bottom of the capita.

After five, maybe 78 minutes.

Now you can drink it when you put the plunger in. 00:03:0.010 --> 00:03:4.790 Do not plunge a ll the way all you're gonna do there it's stir up all the settlement all over again. 00:03:4.900 --> 00:03:12.230 So just till it's sitting on the surface of the coffee, we can use it as a strainer in case there's any big pieces that are still floating around.

But we shouldn't really need it on.

Then gently pour the coffee through into the cup.

This will be the most delicious silt sledge free cup of coffee you will get from French press.
