I love what you have said about french press being good as it is and that some people are trying to make it "cleaner" like a filter coffee. Intuitively I knew they were all missing the point of the french press. The sediment and the crust is part of its charme.
Right on! That’s my favorite part of this method. ☕️
I just got a French press and will never go back to drip The flavor is unbelievable and hearty
It’s amazing how much of a difference it makes. What’s your go-to coffee?
Death wish coffee.
Burnt coffee. But everyone has a preference to be fair. The caffeine levels aren't actually higher than most other coffees, and in fact, you lose caffeine when the coffee is roasted for too long, along with many antioxidants.@@kp3646
Nah, there's a time for both. Sometimes, you just want a simple cup of coffee, without all that body and without using up such a large amount of coffee beans and without creating all that mess to clean up.
@@highnrising "nah" your comment makes no sense. They didn't say there's not a time for drip coffee, genius
Thanks for the video. I switch from Chemex to French Press 2 weeks ago and I love it! I have been using a ratio of 15:1 but tomorrow I am trying the 14:1 ratio.
You have convinced me that I NEED a French press and your cameraman sealed the deal! ☕️ Totally sold me on the taste test and how well he reacted to trying it! 💯👍👍😁
Definitely going to try purchasing a French Press and a grinder for this Jamaican mountain blue coffee i have
Jamaica Blue Mountain is the good stuff! Definitely need to try it in a French Press. 🔥
@@becksfarmhousecoffee I had purchased two and gave one to my friend for his personal use at home and the other for his coffee shop
Thanks for this video. I’ve been wanting to switch to homemade black coffee and haven’t been able to handle the bitterness. I watched the video after ordering a French press and had my first delicious black brew this morning. What a difference in taste!
You’re very welcome! Once you dial it in, it’s hard to like coffee from anywhere else 😂 There’s nothing link The Italian Roast in a French press. 🔥
Thank you for this. Just invested in a decent grinder and was experimenting with ratios. The golden just seemed super weak and i realised we usually are around the 13 to 14:1 ratio, much closer to the platinum you mentioned.
Absolutely! Glad it helped…the platinum ratio is no joke. 😉
Nice channel and helpful tips! Just got a french press!
Awesome! Glad you enjoy it!
Just tried my French press out before seeing your video, 8 tablespoons of corse ground French vanilla coffee to 1 qt of boiling water added grounds added water stirred let set with top on 4 minutes, plunged , very slowly pressed as not to force grounds to bypass the plunger, great cup of coffee , just bought the French press at the second hand store for $1.18 and a set of Vietnamese coffee drip coffee makers for $2.00 new in the box , Ahhhh☕️ 👍🏼. Last week it was a blue enameled camp percolator for four bucks Hello , cowboy coffee 🤠 yee haw !
Sounds like a steal from the second hand store!
@@becksfarmhousecoffee , gotta watch out for that Vietnamese coffee 😳 got wound up tighter than a bed spring ! 🤣
I might have to try French Press
i accidentally bought pre-ground coffee and don't have a drip machine. been using this method and it's actually amazing. also like the warming the cup tip think that helps.
Glad it’s working for you! Not many people know to use that much coffee! 🔥 If you need any whole beans, let me know and we can hook you up! -Clayton
I have bodum french press as well and make my own coffee that brands that I like.
We have a Bodum too! Those are great! Are you on the lighter or darker side when it comes to beans?
I'm wondering how much cafeïne is extracted from the ground beans with the different coffee making techniques.
I made the platinum ratio with the Farmhouse Blend this morning in my french press, delicious! Any tips on making a single cup with the Aeropress?
Boom! Farmhouse is great in a French press! Might have to make an aeropress video soon…
I heard somewhere else that you just plunge the filter to the surface of the coffee and just use it as a strainer when pouring so the sediment doesn't get mixed in when you lower it. Does plunging all the way down have some other benefits tastewise?
I’ve heard to just use it as a “strainer” as well, but in practice (at least for me), it typically makes pouring the coffee a lot more difficult. In addition, I personally enjoy the muddy nature of a French Press. ☕️
@@becksfarmhousecoffee100% agree. The sediment is what gives one the flavor.
209 for dark roast? so for medium and light, is it better to just use boiling water?
209 for everything is great. Basically, you want to bring your water up to a boil, take it off the heat, then start. 👍🏼
Watched the entire vid to get the video title's question answered and all I got was a French press tutorial
Isn’t it obvious….French press is WAY better. 😉
What exactly is 14 to 1. 1 oz. coffee to 14 oz. of water? Is that good for 1 or 2 cups? How long do I grind the beans? Should I just follow the directions on the bag for brewing? I need more info.
Exactly. 14:1 is the ratio we like to use for making our French press coffee.
Using our example in the video, we use a French press that holds 980 grams of water.
980 divided by 14 equals 70…so we use 70 grams of coffee for a full French press.
You can use this ratio for any unit of measurement, or amount of coffee you’re making, including 1 or 2 cups. You’ll just need to do some math to find your recipe at first.
As far as grind time, it doesn’t matter. All that matters is that you grind the coffee coarsely.
As far as brewing time, we recommend 3 minutes once your french press is filled up.
After 3 minutes, you can press the plunger. 👍🏼
I have been playing with every single French press procedure out there. This one is the winner. It’s the only method that gets all of the CO2 out of the brew and It’s the only method that pushes what is known as “crust” into the water and again, this is after the multiple adding/stirring/adding. The result for me is the nuances that coffee is suppose to have only come out in a French Press. My “go to” for cost/taste/availability is Peet’s Major Dickensons. There is a chocolate or mocha flavor that one simply can’t find in a k cup or pour over but in a French press it’s there. Also the bitterness that some say this coffee has is eliminated by the French press all the while the coffee is more robust and flavorful. I’m still can’t get with it full black but my typical half teaspoon sugar for 12z and some cream make this the equal of a coffee house “anything” and for pennies.
For those that are cheap like me, using a cheap Hario grinder and grinding to the very top of the “cup”symbol after tapping the unit on the counter to settle the course grind will give you the 14/1 ratio aka grounds for six ounces. I also use a rain bean press which is cheap and works great.
My only deviation is I think if one is using a larger press you should pour the total brew into another container to ensure consistency cup to cup.
Right on! Glad it was helpful!
The major is Peets best .I get it when it's on sale there I go with Starbucks Cafe Verona whole bean when it's on sale ,I see these as interchangeable with a major nod to to Peets as a true favorite
@@michaelmerck7576Amazing! If you like super dark I would check out our Italian Black Gold! Or farmhouse Blend if you like a traditional espresso!
I didn't know that!
Can you do a review of a travel French press like an aeropress?
That's a great idea! Keep on the lookout!
French press all the way hot let it simmer 10 minutes press and serves 4 regular cups or like me two big cups of strong flavored American taste coffee lol 😝or put in the fridge after 10 minutes press and serve over ice top froth milk which you can also froth with the French press 🤷♂️for a cheap price cannot beat it
I'm more of a tea drinker myself. Good tea doesn't need sweetener. Most bitterness is from over steeping the tea or using too much.
Right on! Not even a coffee guy for French Press? 😉
What coffee brand do you recommend ,,I tried Costco and Petes ,,not impressed
My sister uses Petes in her expresso machine and its very good ,doesn't work for me in the F P
Ahhh I understand. Personally, I really like our Becks Farmhouse Coffee Daybreak Blend for French Press.
You can check it out here.
becksfarmhousecoffee.com/collections/hand-roasted-coffees/products/daybreak-blend
Its a bit darker than most of our single origins, which I really like for French press.
-Clayton
I use peets major Dickinson and it's the only really good peets
I've pushed it all the way up to ten to one with delicious results and gone as long as eight minutes steeping. Press pot is great.
Well done! As long as you like it 🔥
How about cold brew with french press?
Absolutely possible! Here’s a video we did on that actually. ☕️

You should put the leftover brewed coffee in a carafe or it will continue to extract....correct??
Technically yes…but personally, I distribute the coffee from the French press so quickly that it isn’t relevant for me.
However…if I don’t pour all of it at once, the difference in taste is negligible (in my opinion) once you actually “press” the coffee.
What are your thoughts?
@@becksfarmhousecoffee In your opinion, how long would you leave it in the French press? I'm just learning the French press technique, so I really don't know how long before the coffee is yucky.
Guilty pleasure, add milk and sugar to the coffee, stir it, pour your hot water in, stir like mad, leave four minutes or so, press and go.
Never done that! Add milk and sugar before you saturate with water huh?
@@becksfarmhousecoffee yep thats the one. Pre heat cup. ✌
@@petrichor649 always preheat cup 🔥
So because your adding more coffee it insulates it’s self from being over brewed due to the extreme amount of heat!
It’s not so much about the heat, but about the amount of water that’s pulling from the coffee grounds 👍🏼
@@becksfarmhousecoffee but by adding more
Coffee you would have to let it sit longer to make sure it can pull the amount based on your ratio correct?
I tried it with the opposite ratio 1:14 and it was a little thick for me…
I believe that's called rocket fuel lol.
Rocket Fuel is accurate hahaha!
Bryce Davis!!! 🤪
Was there an answer? Is french press better drip?
They’re SUPER different. I like drip as my daily, but French press when I have more time to take it slow and savor my coffee. ☕️
Mokapot is the way to go.
I do but. I prefer white coffee..
What is white coffee?
About how much of caffeine is in that one pot of coffee?
In the whole pot, probably close to 900-1000mg!
Misleading video. You never mentioned if it is better that a drip cup of coffee.
Hey Janet! I’ll go ahead and tell you the answer….I’d say it’s definitely better than drip coffee. 😉 -Clayton
Yes. I wasted time watching this video.
I remember how delicious percolating coffee was back in the day not having all these fancy machines of brewing it. And the aroma while it was brewing. Just not the same and I am considering buying a percolator to finally get a delicious cup of coffee.
So where was the drip coffee ?😮
You have to make that one at home 😉
Bottom line is that french press allows for more control over the end product than drip.
French Press is harder to clean - a big no no
It’s so worth it though.
You can also get a French press with a grounds lifter like this one.

Camera work is making me sea sick
Sorry man.
All the insane jump cutting makes it unwatchable.
Sorry man
