French Press Coffee Makers Review
The French Press Coffee Maker Reviews, this is not the same as the coffee brewers, as it does not brew up your coffee like the larger brewing machines.
You will need to grind the coffee beans first, and a burr grinder works well for this, also the fresher the beans the better the taste will be.
Using just about any French Press coffee machine will require you to remove the plunger and filter first, then put the right amount of ground beans into it on the bottom.
A medium grind for the beans works the best as a grind that is too fine can seep through the filter.
The recommended for the grind to water is about two tablespoons of grind to six ounces of water.
Then you can add the hot water to the carafe and let it sit for three or four minutes for the flavours to come out of the bean grind.
After that you can add the plunger with filter assembly and press down on the coffee grinds slowly, and the coffee grinds should remain below the filters.
Now your coffee is ready to pour into your cup dark and hot for you to enjoy.
