I use an automatic drip coffee maker to make my morning brew because it’s quick and convenient. But sometimes I want a special treat as I’m working, so I use my French Press.

I grind fresh coffee beans, pour filtered water into a pan and heat it, then spoon the ground coffee into the French Press (also called a press pot). When the water is the perfect temperature (it should be around 190 to 200 degrees F.), I carefully pour it into the French Press and let the coffee brew for about 4 minutes. Then I press the metal filter down to trap all the coffee grounds before I pour myself the perfect cup of coffee and put the remaining coffee from the pot into a carafe. Ahhh…what a treat!

If you love coffee, but you don’t own a French Press, you owe it to yourself to buy one. They aren’t expensive and they really are the best way to brew the most flavorful cup of coffee.
