TIPS FOR USING A FRENCH PRESS

1. For less sediment in your cup, use a burr grinder. It will produce an even, uniform grind.

2. Grind your coffee a couple of notches coarser than you would for drip coffee.

3. Fill the carafe of your press with hot tap water to warm it while you heat the water for making coffee.

4. When the water is heated, empty the carafe and scoop in ground coffee - about 7 - 8 scoops for an 8 cup press.

5. Slowly pour heated water (195˚- 205˚) into the carafe leaving a little room at the top for the plunger.

6. Stir the grounds/water mixture with a spoon to make sure all the grounds are saturated.

7. Place the lid onto the carafe with the plunger near the top and allow to steep for 4 minutes.

8. Slowly press the plunger to the bottom and serve.
