OMG! using the second method of brewing - THE COFFEE EXPERIENCE I HAVE BEEN DREAMING OF! 1000 thank you's - and easy too. WOW . I tried my hand at pour over many many times and gave up so dug up my old french press. Prior to your vidieo I was not very happy with the results of this brewing method. Love the heavy body low acidity of FP but NOT the muddy mouth feel if you know what I mean. What I love about the 10 min method is that coffee tastes thick/full bodied AND clean. Cyber hug to you!

In the 2nd method he stirred the mixture. Do not stir it. Let the coffee grinds float up and then remove after 4 minutes. That’s the Hoffman recipe as well. If you stir the mixture the floaters will mix and ruin the objective of this method.

The "2nd method" is simply an overly complicated version of letting the coffee brew in a jar, and then pour over a paper filter into a mug. It isn't french press.

Here’s what I do: - Throw about 3 tablespoons of ground coffee into the pot - fill it about 2/3 of the way with water - wait 2 minutes - stir - wait 2 minutes - plunge - wait 2 minutes - pour, make sure to leave a little coffee in the French press as all the fines have sunk to the bottom and are in those last few drops. Perfect cup with no sludge whatsoever.

Hey, thanks for this very quality video ! I'm french and only use french press for my hot or cold coffee so maybe I can give a few humble notes, some of them are basic : _use a wooden thingie to stir your coffee, such as a wooden spoon handle _when pre heating your french press with a bit of hot water, you can always put the whole filter down so it gets heated too, then you can shake your french press so literally all the french press absorbs the heat from the water. The lid will become very hot of course if it's metal so watch out _depending on the coffee, it can give interesting results to submerge the coffee, using the filter, right below the surface of the water for the last 2 minutes of the brewing. it can quickly give bitterness though _it can give interesting results to pour only 20% of the water first, stir for 30 sec then pour the rest _grind your coffee yourself, and brew instantly, some people even say that after 15 minutes a ground cofee has emitted a lot of it's aromates _don't use tap water Personally I like to "shake" the last remaining of coffee in my mug to get all the "sludge" mixed in the coffee for the last sip, but maybe I'm just weird haha I didn't know about this second method using this press with filters, however are those plastic filters ? I would be afraid of endocrine disruptors

You can still use the first method and simply pour it through a cheese cloth. I take a cheese cloth for straining, put it over my large coffee tumbler, press it down so it forms a crater like a volcano, then a rubber band round the outside of the tumbler to hold it in place. I can then pour all the coffee out of the french press and the cheese cloth holds back all the sediment. A quick rinse of the cheese cloth and hang it on something to dry and you're good to go!

Another way to make a clean cup of coffee I think !😋
@peterpiper4877 ай бұрын
For those of you who know you DO need a paper filter with the French Press, here's how to use it. Unscrew the business end of the stem, take a round paper filter, cut it to size and poke a small hole in the middle of it and insert it between the first metal layer and the mesh screen and then screw the contraption back together. This will make the plunger harder to press down when the brew is ready to pour so expect that. When I first did this, I thought I'd never get the plunger down, but with effort it's doable.

I'm going to try out his way and see, maybe he really likes bitter coffee and that's why he doesn't notice. Coffee becomes even easier to over extract the thinner the grinds are so medium grind is still too small. I guess I will see once my new french press comes in a couple of weeks.

NO!!! Using the second method means you are leaving the brew in the jug for 10 minutes. This means a significant amount of heat is being lost. This is how you make a great brew: Pour hot water and ground coffee into a standard cafetiere. Now take a 16,000 RPM hand-held battery powered milk whisk and whisk the brew for just 10 seconds (aka Nespresso VertuoLine Centrifusion technique). Remove the whisk and replace the lid & mesh filter and pour. You have piping hot coffee without the wait. The 10 second whisk routine uses centrifugal force to draw out far more flavour (and anti-oxidants) from the grounds compared to coffee standing still without movement. The whisk method means you only need about 50% - 60% ground coffee per cup to achieve the same strength and complexity. And if you don't want to drink your coffee right away, simply pour the brew directly into a stainless-steel vacuum pot - your coffee will keep piping hot for hours... enjoy!
@phil2bfree2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your suggestion. I have been using the milk whisk to brew coffee for a few weeks now & I really like it. I ain't no coffee connoisseur but using the whisk yields a clean, smooth great tasting cup of coffee quickly. However, I found that your statement that I would only need 50-60% ground coffee did not work for me. Unless I wanted weak coffee, I still needed 100% of the ground coffee I used in the past. But I enjoy using the whisk & the good coffee I get with this method. Thanks.

To remove the residue I place a small hand-held mesh over the cup before pouring the French press coffee. No big deal. No need for fancier French presses.

no plunge and 10 to15 min, crazy! nothin better than a good old percolator and a good grinder

I noticed that you said to warm your water to 195 to 205 degrees. Does it work if you use room temperature water? I'm going to be drinking it as ice-coffee.... Or is it that the hot water serves to 'activate' the brewing of the coffee?

I used to make coffee every morning... sometimes it was bad sometimes it was good. Never knew which it would be. So I decided to change that and went to chicory instead. Now it's bad all the time, but at least it's consistent and doesn't tease me.

Consistency has its merits

Liked this video-pretty easy. I have a baratza encore also. What grind setting did you use.

Maan, typical. After watching this I wanna make a brew. Only problem is age is catching up and it's almost bed time. Hopefully I'll remember this technique in the morning.
