French Press Coffee Recipe & Instructions
A printable recipe suitable for use with any size Bodum French Press.
- Serves: Depends on size of your French Press.
- Prep Time: 1 Minute.
- Total Time: Less than 10 minutes.
We purchased a three-cup Bodum, which will serve my husband nicely when we are home alone. (I do not drink coffee.) It allows for three smallish cups of coffee. These instructions, however, will work for ANY size bodum.
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon of Coarsely Ground Coffee
- Per 4 Ounces of Water
Instructions
Begin by REMOVING the plunger mechanism from your French Press and putting 1 tablespoon of coarsely ground coffee for each serving in the glass container.
Bring your water to a boil in your kettle and then let the water cool for two minutes.
Add the water to your grounds, making sure to leave an inch at the top empty.
Put the cover and plunger on your glass beaker, leaving the plunger UP. Close the spout opening.
After five minutes, carefully depress the plunger to push your filter through the water and coffee grounds to the bottom of the container. (This time can be adjusted according to how strong you like your coffee.)
Open the spout and pour your coffee. Extra coffee should be removed from the beaker or it may become bitter.
Enjoy.

- The press and espresso machines are for coffee at home, while the drip machine is for the thermos coffee headed to work (easier to make in the morning).

- Wow, this looks very easy. I've never heard of a French press, but I'm thinking it might be a very good idea for my husband, who isn't very happy with the coffeemaker that I recently bought for him. I'm no monkey, but I think even I could make coffee this way!
