As the elixir of life for many people, coffee is an essential beverage that helps the world run smooth. If you'd like to make your morning coffee more of a treat for your taste buds, then learn how to brew French press coffee instead of using the same old instant mixture.<\/p>\n

Get the Supplies You Need<\/h2>\n

Invest in some quality coffee beans. You can buy either pre-ground beans or grab a grinder to shred them up at home. Additionally, you'll also need a French press. These can vary in size, but a standard size one usually makes around four cups.<\/p>\n

Heat the Water<\/h2>\n

French press water only needs to be heated to about 195 degrees Fahrenheit. If you don't have a thermometer to check it, let it get to boiling and then remove it from the heat for 30 seconds to a minute to allow it cool to the proper temperature. For the four serving press, use four cups of water.<\/p>\n

Add Your Beans<\/h2>\n

As the water is heating, take about a half cup of ground coffee beans and add it to the bottom of the French press. Give the press a little back and forth shake to settle the grounds.<\/p>\n

Pour the Water<\/h2>\n

Begin pouring half the water into the press, letting it sit for 30 seconds before mixing and pouring in the rest. Stir quickly with an up and down motion, then let sit for four minutes. <\/p>\n

Drink and Enjoy<\/h2>\n

Finally, press the plunger down to the bottom, pour yourself a mug, and enjoy your first taste of French press coffee.<\/p>\n
