How to Use a French Press the Right Way
Many people think French Press coffee is just pouring hot water and pressing.
That’s why they often get bitter coffee.
The secret lies in ratio, timing and grind size.
Step 1 — Choose the Right Grind
Always use coarse ground coffee. Fine powder blocks filter and creates muddy taste.
Step 2 — Coffee to Water Ratio
Use 1:15 ratio
Example: 20g coffee → 300 ml water
Step 3 — Blooming (Most Important Step)
Pour a little hot water first and wait 30 seconds.
This releases trapped gases and improves flavor.
Step 4 — Add Remaining Water
Pour slowly and stir gently once.
Step 5 — Wait 3–4 Minutes
Do not rush. Extraction happens during waiting, not pressing.
Step 6 — Press Slowly
Press gently. Fast pressing causes bitterness.
Step 7 — Serve Immediately
Leaving coffee inside makes it over-extract.
Perfect French Press coffee should taste smooth, rich and balanced — never harsh.
