How To Use A French Press - Навчання та стиль
TY. Im 55 a d grew up playing with grandma's old manual things stored in garage as she too came to tech with us. But now that she's gone - I feel very compelled to use a few manual things in my kitchen- to keep Granny's Angel in my Home! ❤😊 ty for remind me how to use some old things still made in newer materials now. As a human in preservation of my culture I chose to learn and pass on fine arts and manual labors and hobbies. It's just good to know how to live off the earth as close to as is as possible!!
Great video. And you actually spoke to us unlike many video makers. And you didn't include a bunch of unnecessary steps like preheating the carafe or using a thermometer. Nice, simple and useful...aaahh. Refreshing like a good cup of coffee. :) thx
Great video. As others said, this is straight and simple with enough information and nothing extra. Thank you!
Best video on here on how to use a French press. Nice and straightforward
I love that your simple "how to" video invokes such passionate memories from Denise Stokes, it's gotta be good! And it was. well done. Thank you.
Clear and simple-to-follow, with a step-by-step flowchart on the side - thanks!
The best video of it's kind. I'm imPRESSed!
You should definitely not pour boiling water on your coffee grounds..the water should be just lower than boiling as boiled water is too hot and causes a bitter taste from your coffee
True
Exactly!!
around 82-85° C for Dark roasted
85-90°C for medium
87- 95°C for light roasted
by my experience at home.
True. I wait for a few mins after boiling it.
This actually isn't true, James Hoffman did a video debunking this.
I’ll use this next time I wanna make a great cup o’ joe.
who's Joe?
Joe mama, haha got em
I think Joe might have something to say about that.
Hehe.
bro dont scare me that much. my name is Joe man :(

Thank you so much. Simple and straight to the point. I watched 2 other videos and they were so extra.
Agreed
I love coffee!! And I I got a French press, came to check if I was using it right. Well it's super easy I love it!!! 😍❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻☕
I've had one of these things for the past few years but I never knew how to use it.
Now I know. That's Insider!
Damn how many of us....Really but after all this is a How to Video it's normal i guess 🤣
I had it but I never knew That is French Press ,I actually thought French Press is called That Coffee Maker where you put the Coffee on top and it drains down to the Big Cattle underneath ,like The One Ronnie Coleman used ,now with this thing man I can make Coffee even out in the wild...now I can finally go make That Wooden Gym out in The Russian Taiga.... and don't have anything to worry about....🤣
Just read your instruction leaflet that comes with your French press
I drink it all and have never had any sludge in my coffee,that mesh filter under the metal filter should stop any large particles .just take it apart and clean with hot water after wards and there should be nothing but coffee pouring into your cup
.
Brother, thank you. I just got my first grinder and French press in the mail. Appreciate you. My coffee from Kauai came out soooo good
Thank you! Just what I needed!
Thank you for this simple video👍🏼👍🏼
"Now say goodbye to your drip coffee maker". Pretty accurate.
Goodbye..
Great video straight to the point
Great video and easy to follow.
Don’t have a French press. Will never have a French press. Will watch a video on how to use a French press.
Edit: A) holy crap! I can't believe it's been 2 years since I watched this video!
2) I can't remember why I was educating someone on queefs but it may have been bc my username at one time was QueefQueen 🤪😭😭

What a fun thread 😂
I just bought a French press and have no idea how to use it 😅 but these instructions are super straightforward and easy. Thank you!
Thanks! Bought one for super cheap. No electricity at my hobo camp so this is the answer to our coffeeless nightmare
JUst rooted out my cafetiere and boiled water, added coffee to press, waited 4 mins, pressed down plunger, slowly and voila a fab cup of posh coffee. Didnt know it was so easy. Tastes fab and will be using this daily. New fangled things make me nervous, but this video was sooo easy to watch and made it so easy for me to use. Wont be afraid of this anymore, thank you.
Great demonstration
It’s a very good video. Thanks very much!
I have a french press but was not using it correctly. Thank you for you simple video💌
Very helpful, informative how I need
I just bought one from the thrift store yesterday and I’m so excited to use it lol
It’s a Bodum Chambord, like the one in the video
I got the same one, brand new today at a thrift store!!
after using this teapot for a year, I finally know its name
This comment should be pinned
Very nice video. Thanks very much.
Well Done! Thank you
Awesome Video! Thank you 😊
Thanks great info..Where are the links
Your voice guy sounds like he needs some of that coffee
Lol
Great video nice and simple 😊☕
i am finally taking my coffee game to the next level
Great video❤
Thank you 🙏
Is the sludge like espresso?
Is it drinkable/eatable?
this video is so mesmerising
I just bought one because I've been hearing that the aluminum ones are not good to use healthwise. Can't wait to try it
Nice - should I buy a grinder or do the ground coffee beans make much of a difference?
This is the only way my parents made coffee when I was growing up. I’m still not sure how to used a drip coffee machine.
Don't learn
Thank you
Nice explanation,....best coffee
How can we use your link when they’re not in the description?
I love how every video regarding a French press avoids showing how much coffee they actually put in, or recommend. They just cut right to pouring it in..
Gampang banget pake alat French fresh buat kopi
Best explanation simple and easy concise
If you want another cup of coffee do you have to use more grounds or can you pour more hot water in?
This guy sounds like he's about to commit toaster bath.
I still haven't heard anyone in these videos explain the water to coffee ratio. How much hot water to add and how much coffee to add.
My dude literally says it in the video
3 tbsp ground coffee per 1 cup of hot water. If you're worried about the ratio pour the hot water in your cup and then pour it into the press to make sure you get it right
When they say 3 tbsp for 1 cup of coffee, what size cup of coffee are we talking about. What if I'm using a large coffee cup?
I just do 2 heaping teaspoons for one cup of coffee sometimes 3 but pour a little water on it to get the ground wet for 30 seconds then pour the water and cover it. I bloom my coffee. Also make sure its not to fine. Use coarsely ground coffee and make sure the water isn't super boiled. Just right before it starts to boil
The bags I get are grinded already and it says 2 heaping table spoons for 6 oz. I like stronger so I do 3. Also I don't mind burnt taste coffee either.
This isn't very clear. I didn't see the coffee grinder in any of the links… it's usually easier if you list each product with its link…
After I press the plunger all the way down, when I go to pour it out only a very little dribbles out. I can take the plunger out, but then I get a lot of grounds. Is there a solution?
so how much water should I add on?
I don’t even drink or like coffee. This was just interesting to watch.
Lol
The only way to make coffee, in my opinion. However, for best results, don't bring the water to a full boil. Pour the water just before it reaches the boiling point. Boiling water will actually burn your beans. :-)
There is some incorrect offhand information in this video! Nothing that is a huge deal, but
1) "You want coarser grounds to release the good stuff." Actually, a finer grind has more surface area, which is what would release the good stuff. The reason for a coarse grind is actually for a slower extraction since it is an immersion method (all of the coffee is submerged and touching the water at the same time -- opposed to a drip style, which has less water contact at any given second).
2) "Darker roasts, because they are drier and more brittle, will extract faster" Darker roasts extract faster because they are more soluable/porous, because they have been chemically broken down during the roasting process more than light roasts
I'm gonna try this French press n it better work
I have been doing 1/4 cup of ground beans in the press. Is this too much?
Can you use canned coffee grounds in this?
Will the plunger hit the bottom?
Can you put prevground coffee
Bodum makes amazing and gorgeous products all my coffee products are bodum
We were just gifted a bag of coffee after a friend returned from Costa Rica this week. I have not opened it, but it feels like it was finely ground, and I was wondering if there are French Presses that can handle this?
Pre ground coffee generally isn't that finely ground in the grand scheme of things. You might be OK. Did it work out?
ok, where are the links to the press and grinder? I see everything else.
Ler the coffee stand and “ ripe” for 15 min before pressing ( under a “termohat”
like it but more of a mess to clean. Whilst camping a drip pour with filters is good because you can just burn the filter and coffee grounds in the fire put whilst in the bush.
Got my first french press. Tomorrow, I'll be figuring out how long to steep. Start out with 4 min and then increase by 1 min. Coffee machines are just too expensive.
How many spoons of coffee powder
For the ratio, when you say for every 1 cup of coffee, are you referring to a 5oz or 8oz cup? I keep seeing instructions using 5oz as a cup, so want to double-check.
It all depends on how you define a "cup." In a drip coffee maker 1 cup usually means 5 ounces of water before the brewing cycle. So if you have a 5-cup drip coffee maker, then the total water capacity would be 25 ounces. However, the French press shown here is 12 ounces (or 3 cups) in capacity. So here 1 cup would be only 4 ounces. Cheers. ☕
@@fumble_brewski5410 Thank You! :) That helped a lot.
How much water do you add?
Enough for the cup you are going to use
Very fine gravel consistency ??? Boiling water?? 😅
Would folgers work if there already grinded up?
Some people like my brother insists he does but I tried it one time and I couldn't push the press down because the grind was so fine there was not enough air between the water and coffee and itvwas like trying to push the bar down through dry cement
what if I don't have a grinder?
Thank you! I’ve been using one for YEARS and my coffee always sucks and there’s grounds floating all over.. 🤦♂️
This explained to grind my own, I’ve been buying the super fine pre-ground stuff. I never let it steep, I’d just pour boiling water in and plunge down quickly right after. Then to make it even worse, I’d pour it way quick.
Just made a cup like how you explained here and this is great! Still some grounds but that’s because I bought the pre ground next time I’ll grind my own and keep it coarse.
And thank you for not having ads baked in or making it a video of a face taking. I learn best by seeing the actions done. Ty x5! 🎉
I love myself a cup o shit
Could you use regular coffee grounds with a french press for good coffee?
Sure if you want to release hellish demons
@@rightchordleadership Only pu$$ies are scared of hellish demon's
No ,the plunger won't push through enough,I tried it and just had to throw it out
Coffee nice
Any tips on cleaning out the used coffee? I like my french press but cleaning the grounds messy.
Just pour water into them and pour into the kitchen sink or garbage disposal
@@michaelmerck7576 thanks 😊
@@michaelmerck7576
But not good for a septic system that's for sure.
@@n40tom extremely true unfortunately
@@n40tom if you have a garden, coffee grounds are good for that. Find a ceramic canister jar and put grounds in it for compost for gardening
How much water do you use for 1 large cup of coffee ?
Yes enough water for the cup you want use
I have this but i dont even know how to use it
That's so strange I came home with a bag of coffee and apparently I grabbed the exact same bag as in the video 🧐
Is ground coffee ok 👌
Yeah :)
Oh Lordy no
Ever since i got a Bodum FP from target i never went back to horrible Kpod coffee.😅
I’m not arguing with anything said in this video, it’s a fine first go, but another guy I watch on UA-cam said you pour the (not boiling) water on top of the coarse grounds, leave it about five minutes with lid off, (not sure why lid off), then scoop the sediment and foam off the top, place the lid back on, but don’t push the filter down into the coffee. Leave it just above. Carefully pour the coffee out. By not exciting any of the sediment in the bottom of the cafetière, you reduce the bitterness. Some of the best coffee I’ve made.
What UA-camr ?
@@erikkareyess5228 James Hoffman. I think that’s his UA-cam name, but if it isn’t I’ll get back to you.
Can I use already grinned up coffee beans
Yes
If you mean standard ground coffee in the bags ,no because the grind is too fine and goes against the French press so the plunger doesn't go to the bottom
Instead of using an old fashioned kettle, I'd use an electric kettle, even though they're not very common here in America. Edit: if you're poor, and you can't afford a coffee grinder, if you have a food processor lying around, that'll work too.
Why are so many people complementing this video for being straight to the point when half of the video is an ad for a specific coffee bean grinder and a specific french press? Was actually so frustrating to watch. JUST GET TO THE DAMN POINT.
I just received a French press without instructions, china imported, from temu.I will watch and learn! Thanks!😅
Then spend 30 minutes cleaning up. Getting grinds out of the wire mesh is especially fun.
Take it apart and wash each piece under your sink using hot water then re assemble the press ,takes about a minute or less
was that french press made to only make one cup of coffee?
yes all of them. but you need coffe cups big enough.
Ive got one yesterday and ive noticed when i push down on the plunger theirs resistance is that normal or should it plunge easy?? Anyones advice would be greatly appreciated😊🙏
A little bit of resistance is normal. You are pushing the plunger through water, after all. But it should by no means take a notable amount of force. It should be easy.
3 table spoons seems too little for a Whole Press of Water,really it's too Weak,I would Suggest you add at least 7 even 10 scoops
it's per cup of coffee, ie: 3 TBSP=1 C coffee... 6=2 etc...
Yea, I am not saying goodbye to my mocca master with the amount of coffee we drink.
I clicked on the video cause i have the same kettle LOL
Oh i used this upside down not knowing how it worked
Long live Italian percolator coffee ☕️
Is that Evah Destruction?
That's so coarse, though. You're probably losing out on some flavour. Could definitely go somewhat finer.
