If you want to liven up your daily coffee ritual, then step away from the drip or single serve brewer for a day. Give one of these alternate coffee routes a try; they will have your coffee-lovin’ taste buds giving you a pat on the back!
1) French Press Coffee
- Bring water to a boil. Wait 1-2 minutes so it cools slightly.
- Grind your coffee beans, aiming for a coarse grind. Use two tablespoons of ground coffee for every 1 cup of water.
- Pour the ground coffee into the French press. Pour water evenly over grounds and stir to make sure the hot water gets to every bit. Stir to make sure all the grounds are immersed in the water and to help with the extraction of the delicious oils and compounds. Steep for 4 minutes.
- Press down on the plunger evenly and slowly.
- Pour and enjoy!
