I haven’t had coffee in over 6 years. Got a French press and decided to finally give it a try. Followed your recipe exactly and now I’m enjoying a delicious cup of coffee! Not bitter at all like I remember it being. Thank you!

I got a French Press yesterday for Father's Day, and I found this video very helpful. It is informative and to the point also very professional. In addition to the Bodum French Press, ,my son also got me the Krups adjustable Burr grinder, and the Bonavita gooseneck kettle. And, some organic Ethiopia Chelbessa whole bean fresh roasted coffee from Kickapoo Coffee Roasters. I think I made a nearly perfect cup of French Press coffee. Thanks for your help!

The coffee is PERFECT, thank you! And for everyone saying this takes too long, the whole process takes just a few minutes and it is totally worth it :).

I love how everyone is complaining about the time it takes but everything here has a proper reason behind it. And it really isn't that hard to do, if you're boiling water do that while you grind your beans, that saves time. Then, it's as simple as pouring in the grounds and adding the water. When 4 minutes have passed, press and serve immediately to get the grounds out of contact with the coffee you will be drinking.

So I found a local roaster and ended up getting my feelings hurt... He didn’t even mention anything about coffee. 😤

Here's a tip for not getting any "Grinds" in your coffee. Once I pour the water in I wait a full 4 mins, then stir a bit and let sit for another 5-8 mins. Then when you use your plunger NEVER push it fully to the bottom. Rather just press it a tad under (1 inch) from the top and pour from there. If you press it all the way down you will stir up the grinds once again and you'll get a poor cup of coffee.

Perfect!! Thank you for the step-by-step to the same excellent cup of coffee every single time! ❤

Never had a French press in my life. I got curious during the pandemic. Hit a few learning curbs and gave in and asked my son. He's was a barista and manager at Macciatto's. Basically I needed the measurements and time to sit. Like this video lol. What a difference.

3 tablespoons of coffee beans or the ground? If its the ground, how many tablespoons of ground to water :) ? Thanks

That gooseneck kettle makin me feel some kinda way

i only have the smart kettle and a willingness to get some coffee and a hopeful experience with a french press like five years ago

I used to make French press coffee until I was tired of buying glass presses because of breaking them often. I just ordered a 1 liter kettle for the stove, a stainless French press 12 oz and Lavazzo coffee to start enjoying this method of brewing again; I'm so sick of Keurig coffee that I splurged this evening on the new coffee gear. I had to look up a reminder on how to make this again. Thanks for the tips, it's all come back to me now. I like 4-6 oz cups of coffee, I'm not a quantity drinker (like I used to be) so now I'll concentrate on quality.

I just realized what I was doing wrong that made my coffee taste so light. Thanks for the tips!

Currently enjoying a great cup of coffee! ^_^ Thanks so much for uploading this!

That background music was everything!!! 😊😊😊

Hey 👋 Could you guys relay the coffee to water measurements in cup and tablespoon increments please! Don’t currently have scales to hand.. Thx

Loved the guide. Thanks

Damn it i just wanna drink coffee!

Used the same ratio Nd It’s actually pretty good

Why not stirring at the beginning? I've found that stirring as soon as all the water is in results in a better extracted cup. But the best recipe for me is the one from James. 4 mins steep, stirr, 5 more minutes untouched.

I make French press coffee every weekend but my question is after I pour the first 2 cups for my wife and I, I pour the remainder in a stainless steel carafe and it never taste as good as the first 2 cups. Should I leave it in the French press instead?

I quit this has to be a sponsored post. I cant buy all this stuff I just have a simple ikea coffee press

... love the music you used👌😎

You could use a filter, or purchase a different French Press. The Espro Press is fantastic.

Let me check with Mr. Hoffman to make sure this is all correct. 😄

Awesome video Thanks a bunch

I like to pour the water in stages. About 1/4 of the water required at first to make a coffee slurry. I let that sit and stew for a few minutes then add the remaining water.

This is really well made video.

Doesn´t matter how i perfectly make the steps one after another, the coffee out of a french press always tastes a big like watered-down good coffee.

Why would you need a goose-neck kettle to pour hot water into a French press? For pour-over brewing - wherein the gradual introduction and even distribution of liquid are important - sure; but, in a press, you literally are quickly pouring water over grounds, helping to ensure agitation of the latter.

Get $30 french press. Use any ole kettle. Grind beans. Put in press. Put in hot water. Wait. Press. Pour. Trial and error until you figured it out. No need to get fancy shit. Fresh beans are critical though. Taste Burnt? Water too hot. Taste bitter? Too small grind. Too weak? Grind too coarse, steep time too small, too little coffee. Trial and error depending on bean type and freshness. Change one thing everything else must change to compensate.

Where can i find that beautiful measuring cup?

Thank you.

Excellent tutorial!

My only difference: I pour the hot water from the modem into my waiting cup no cooled down coffee!

At what elevation are you boiling water though?

I was taught to soak the coffee in a shallow layer of hot, not boiling, water for 30 seconds, and _then_ add the rest of the water for 3,5-4 minutes. I’m curious: What is the reason for (not) including this step?

What is the benefit of using a french press over using any other jar/utensil for mixing coffee powder with hot water and later filter out the coffee particles with a strainer ?

perfect video!

Wow

single serving coffee measurement pls

That kettle is beautiful. What brand?

Great video, thanks! I got a question if you don’t mind, when I pour the hot water before putting the beans to heat the glass. Do I take the water out again before I put the coffee in or a leave that little hot water inside? Thanks a lot

Anyone know the song used in this video?

You can't 'scorch' coffee grounds... The beans have been roasted already at much higher temperatures.

You didn't dry the glass. Aren't you supposed to dry the glass before pouring in the grounds?

Hi! I have been using instant coffee till now and I am thinking of trying "real" coffee for the first time and I really wanted to try French Press....but my question is that......When I make my coffee with instant coffee I use 1 tablespoon of coffee, one tablespoon of sugar then pour 1/4 cup boiling water and mix the it to form a sort of paste and then I add skimmed milk......and I like milk in my coffee....but I can't figure out how will it work french press method...how can I add milk to my coffee (if its even possible)

Thx alot but i disagree to open da press after 2 mins.

What about water from Fiji?!!!!

This uses so much coffee and does not seem cost-effective. It tastes good but your cup of coffee is about 3.00, made a home.

sand.... soil... more like bark. or gravel. got you. jk great vid thanks!

there are lots of ways. I'm confused

My coffee tasted a little burnt but I didn’t use boiling water also I just had enough for one cup so 8oz and 3 Tbs of ground coffee, idk what I did wrong ?

This is our second K-Classic. We had our first one for many years, so when we had to replace it, we wanted nothing else but this exact kzfaq.infoUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf model. We use it for about three people everyday in the morning. The taste and quick brew is one of the reasons we like it so much. There are so many choices of brands of coffee that we would grab what was on sale and test the different brands from there. I would definitely recommend trying different brands of coffee to find the ones you like the most because there are brands that quite frankly taste horrible.

Dear American friends: Why you make all things hard !? French coffee is more easily than this video!🤗

you really don't need a gooseneck kettle for french press. Also, pre-ground coffee has been vacuum sealed. It's perfectly fine to use. also, not enough slo-mo

What kind of psycho measures water in grams???

I hear pressing thr plunger all thr way down is a bad move

Wait, what? Boiling water isn't hot enough to scorch the beans. They're roasted at temperatures in well in excess of 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Not only that the water will cool below boiling as soon as it touches the room temperature beans.

Boiling water will not scorch your coffee lol😂 they roast the beans at 400 degrees bro

Lighter the coffee. More the heartburn or GERD. Would recommend to stick with darker coffees in the long haul to avoid those issues in the future. Darker the better.

2:25 wrong

You haven't done the

Mina’s got the right idea. Whatshisname who made this vid’s just trying to look like he knows something you don’t know unless he tells ya how to know it.

damn I wish people started using normal scales rather than ''farenheit, stones, foot, galons'' stuff.

How do you expect people do do mathematics before their first coffe of a day

1:15 mean 1 part of coffee and 14 parts of water! Not 1 of coffee and 15 of water

For some reason I HATE anything but dark roast. In fact, the only coffee I consistently like is considered garbage by coffee snobs (Sbux French Roast), Also, that fancy gooseneck kettle is so far from necessary. I boil the water in a normal e. kettle, sometimes decant to let cool a bit and then pour in my press and give he grinds a good stir.

I wouldn't call it perfect, because everyone has there ideal of PERFECT! Let just call it like it is: His way of making a French Press of Coffee! Any Coffee video will bring out the "You did this or that wrong People" ! What he presented is a general get started guide (except don't break the curt at 2 minutes) if you do I would just lower the plunger to for he ground under water (if that's what you want)! There no PERFECT WAY, and NEVER will be! People will cry and whine about this and that.. no matter what! Fresh Roasted beans,,, use only after 3 to 4 days out of the Roaster! Been roasting for 20 years, nothing taste good to me out of the Roaster....., the beans have to REST and degas for a few day in my humble opinion ! But, I sure your Biddy does it different and know allot about Roasting, but doesn't have a Roaster etc., Good guide line for people starting out with the FP, but the breaking of the CRUST is a NO-NO in my world!

I hope this isn't long and drawn out!

Making coffee in a French press is not this complicated.

Ok screw this ..im getting a container of instant coffee .

Agree. Dark roast coffee tastes horrible.

I shouldn't have to buy a food scale to make coffee

No ! Pushing the press is a bad idea. It makes the coffee more bitter. .

can someone just fucking say 1 cup or 1/4 cup of water to _____ Instead of making me fiddlefuck for 3 hours to figure out what the measurements are

How to make hipster coffee

Boiling water does not burn coffee lol

1:15 is disgusting, at least for me, way too bitter... I prefer 1:17, for every brew method I use

Too complicated...when I get up in the morning I am not up to this much work...

And remember that if you get even one of these details wrong, you are worth noticeably less as an intelligent and deserving human being. I don't get right numerous details found in this video, but my self-prepared French-pressed coffee (dark roast/French Roast) is delicious every time.

Question: What kind of idiot would use Fahrenheit instead of Centigrade?

This is all BS. James Hoffman has the perfect recipe. This is just a well shot 'minimalist video'.

What is a french press? Is that some sort of sex move er som'm?

or buy tim hortons

Put ground coffee in the press, 3 good spoons, add water, wait, wait, press down, pour enjoy... hipsters are trying to making it an art form & it’s ruining coffee...

People actually have time in the day to do all this for a cup of coffee?

Oh man, screw all this crap I'm stickin with my k- cups

I'M ONLY 1 MINUTE IN AND ALREADY KNOW I'LL NEVER BE BUYING ONE OF THESE. I'LL STICK WITH MY KEURIG. AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THIS SHIT.

8m sorry but, even when it comes to cooking, if EVERY DAMN STEP IS MEASURED TO THE EXACT AMOUNT then I will not taste the best and will be, stale (can't think of the right word). Really, eyeballing it and havimg each measured step a BIT off makes it perfect. If you have trouble eye balling things, 5hen yes, go ahead and measure but after a few times, you SHOILD be able to eyeball things and again, it will be even BETTER if things ARE NOT 109% correct and precise
