How to Brew Coffee in a French Press

Rich, bold, and timeless — the French Press is a classic brewing method that brings out coffee’s natural oils and depth.

What You Need

  • Freshly ground CO.PHI coffee (medium-coarse grind)
  • French Press
  • Hot water (just off the boil, ~93°C)
  • Stirring spoon

Step-by-Step Guide

  • Add 2 tbsp coffee per 200 ml water to the French Press.
  • Pour in hot water and stir gently.
  • Place the lid on, without pressing.
  • Let steep for 4 minutes.
  • Slowly press the plunger down and serve immediately.

Pro Tips

Don’t leave coffee sitting in the press — it will over-extract and taste bitter. Pour into cups or a carafe right after pressing.
