Learning how to use a French press is not a difficult task. If you want freshly-brewed coffee in an instant, then you will need to use this easy-to-carry coffee maker!

A lot of coffee experts will say that you using a grinder play a huge role in making a good cup of coffee. But, if you are on a rush, will you have time to grind some? If you don't have the luxury of time, you can just purchase those ground coffee available in a lot of coffee shops. If you have time, then you can make your own blends.

The first thing you need to do when learning how to use a French press is to put first the right amount of coffee you will use for every brew. Usually a rounded tablespoon of coffee works to one cup of coffee. So, put it in mind that the French press works on a 1:1 ratio, 1 cup of ground coffee : 1 cup to drink. You will need to set how many cups you plan to consume before you use the French press.

If you plan to serve for 3 people, then you can simply add some 8.5 grams of ground coffee into your French press. Then you will need to add some hot water into the press to be able to make your coffee. In this case, you will need 4 oz of water to make a nice brew. Once you have poured the water, wait for the coffee to go down to the lowest part of the press. Then you will need to use a chopstick to stir the mix. This is not really an important step, but stirring eventually extracts the flavor from the beans.

Now get the filter assembly and cover the French press. You are about to steep the coffee—normally, it would take about 2-3 minutes in steeping your coffee. And once you are done, it is now time to plunge the filter. Hold the cover and the plunger stick well and then push the plunger stick down evenly. By doing an even manner, this prevents the coffee ground to go through the filter. Once you are done with the plunging of the coffee, get your cups and pour the coffee slowly so you won't create a mess.

Now that you know how to use a French press, simply serve the coffee with some cream and sugar. Enjoy!
