4<\/strong><\/p>\nAdd coffee to the French press. Use the “correct” (most common) dosage and brewing time, without significant deviations from the recommendations. The optimal dose of coffee for a standard 350 ml (12 fl oz) French press is 21 grams (0.74 oz).<\/p>\n
The coffee-to-water ratio of ground coffee beans weight to the weight of the finished coffee is 1:17, i.e., 57 grams (2 oz) of coffee grounds per 1 liter (33 fl oz) of water. To determine the dosage for each specific case, you just need to calculate the proportions. For example, a half liter (17 fl oz) drink will require 28 grams (1 oz) of coffee.<\/p>\n
You should not measure the coffee grounds by eye, because the slightest deviation in proportions can significantly affect the result. It is best to weigh the coffee grounds on a scale in 0.1-gram increments each time you use a French press.<\/p>\n
5<\/strong><\/p>\nPour in the required amount of water from the kettle. Don’t put the lid on the French press. Wait 3-4 minutes.<\/p>\n
6<\/strong><\/p>\nAfter 4 minutes, stir the coffee with a plastic or wooden spatula, cover the French press with a lid without lowering the plunger, and leave for 5-6 minutes (set this amount on your timer).<\/p>\n
Recommendation: for more even extraction, after stirring, lower the plunger just far enough so that the particles are in the water, not on top of the filter. After 3 to 4 minutes, fully lower the plunger and pour the coffee into cups.<\/p>\n
7<\/strong><\/p>\nWhen the timer goes off, gently lower the plunger to the bottom of the French press and immediately pour the coffee into cups. Be careful! Don’t press down too hard or you may splash yourself with boiling water. Press down with a safe, steady pressure.<\/p>\n
8<\/strong><\/p>\nImmediately transfer the drink to your cup or another container to stop extraction. You cannot leave the coffee in the French press or it will over-extract and become too strong.<\/p>\n

As the coffee cools, the taste will change. Some varieties are very interesting in their changing tastes, so don’t rush to drink the whole cup of coffee at once.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
