Ingredients

  • 16 ounces of filtered water
  • 3 Tablespoons ground organic coffee for a stronger brew, you can always substitute for dark roasts.
  • A wooden spoon.
  • A pot or tea kettle to heat the water.
  • Filtered or purified water.

Instructions

  • Bring 16 ounces of filtered water to a boil, until it reaches 200 degrees. 
  • Grind coffee beans on a medium-coarse setting, preferably organic or a good quality coffee.
  • Place 3 tablespoons of the coffee grounds at the bottom of a clean french press coffee maker. 
  • Once the water has reached 200 degrees, carefully pour a couple ounces of water (you want to double the amount of water to grounds) for the "bloom". 
  • Stir for 20 seconds.
  • Pour in the rest of the water making sure that it is just under the top of the stainless steel line on the french press.
  • This will keep the water from coming out when it is time to plunge. Place the plunger on the carafe (Do not push it down yet!) and align the two openings so that it is ready to serve when the brew time is up.
  • Allow the coffee sit and steep for 4 minutes. 
  • Gently press down the plunger slowly and steadily, until it reaches the bottom of the french press machine.
  • Poor your coffees into two clean mugs.
  • Drink them black or add in raw grass fed cream or a splash of raw milk. Enjoy!
