- Hi everyone! The French press brewing method is super versatile and is a great way to get started making coffee at home. Hope this was helpful and make sure you stick around to watch the milk foaming part!
Also, check out James Hoffman’s recent video about making milk drinks at home: • Making Cappuccino/Latt...

Thank you for all your recent support, I can’t believe we’re at 80K already!! Can’t wait to see y’all again next Friday! 💕
When I’m in a hurry in the morning I just eat the coffee grounds 🤗
Jose i snort instant coffee
Save them for body and hand scrubs or fertilizer shots in plants. We only use 5% of the nutrition in a cup of coffee. The rest is incredible valuable.
I just fill a syringe with it and pump it directly into my veins.
I just a full-body shiver of disgust 😂
I like to snort the whole beans. It can be problematic but it's the best
9 minutes of actual information. Three different types of coffee. Well-edited. Clear. Concise. Pleasing music at the perfect volume. No wasting time. Clearly narrated with no pretense. Thank you. So refreshing to watch a well-made clip, as opposed to a 15 minute video with 48 seconds of actual information. Bravo.

I always like how you say to drink your coffee how you like it. I’m new to coffee and don’t like overly bitter things, so I add cream and usually caramel flavoring and it’s encouraging to see someone not be like “if you don’t enjoy it black you’re drinking coffee wrong”
Typically the people who say "If you don't enjoy it black, your drinking it wrong" know nothing about coffee, lol.
Then you're drinking cream and caramel. Not the coffee.
@@Sammysapphira lmao that's like saying "oh you add seasonings to your meat? then you're eating the seasonings and not the meat."
I don't like bitter coffee either, I use a French Press and after my water boils I let it sit for 30 to 60 seconds so it's not boiling hot, the hotter the water the more bitter the coffee. I also only steep my coffee for 3.5 minutes. It's trial and error figure out how much coffee to use and which temperature water works best for you and how long to steep but once you figure it out you're golden. I like to add milk and caramel and sometimes cinnamon, almond extract, chocolate, nutmeg, anise whatever I'm in the mood for.
If you dislike bitterness, I would recommend changing the roast from dark or medium dark to medium roast. Still bitter, then change the size of coffee grounds to more coarse or brew it in such a way that underextracts the coffee (use filter paper method or if using a method which leaves the coffee in water, decrease the time coffee sits in the water). Lastly, drink it at warm temperature and not hot. Also give it a chance to develope it's taste, like don't gulp the coffee, take small sips and drink it slowly.
my life changed when i learned i could use my french press to froth my milk. my coffees have never been the same.
great vid, really well done c:
My life changed when I saw this technique

SAME HOLY SHIT i'm so happy
I want barista someday
i swear i looked at my french press differently now
I got a french press in high school that came with a mini looking French press to froth milk
I really like how happy and positive you are, that's something I need in my life. If you ever wanted to inspire someone, you've done it.
Thanks a lot.
I love how she says there's no right way to do it you do you. Everyone out here on TH-cam weighing shit into their $1k grinder saying there's no other way to make coffee. Refreshing
yes, tbh, cold brew means slow extracting... you can make your own by experimenting.
@@rehannoor4961 u can make cold brew withought a french press all u need is a jar its actually really easy
@@bruhbruh8429 i know
@@rehannoor4961 We know*
Yeah, I dislike that elitism. But when it comes to espresso in particular, a very high quality grinder is critical. Doesn't have to cost $1k, but it's going to be up there.
I started using my french press to froth milk and it's literally the best thing and more recently I got into drinking matcha but have no electric/bamboo whisk so I thought back to this video and decided to try use the french press. It worked really well and just wanted to leave this here in case it would help anyone else :)
Thanks for the idea!
Thank You! my arms thank you too.
Using it for matcha is genius, thank you!
I love the sticky note on the fridge that just says "NO"
Where :0
“Morgan drinks coffee” biggest understatement of the year. 😂
Next to Morgan spills milk
morgan devours coffee
Morgan annihilates coffee
I love how casual and open the coffee community you're building is! You're bringing so much new people into the coffee world!
The hair cut!! 🔥🔥
It makes her look like Audrey from the TV series "Scream."
I don't even drink coffee, but I take great joy in seeing people do stuff they love. This is great.
i just impulse bought a french press yesterday, this video was perfect timing! thank you!!
I love your voice over explaining what you're doing on the video 😍. It's the perfect mixture of precise information + humor + easy to follow. Again, loved it! ❤
You have such a wholesome voice and wonderful energy. I've learned so much from watching your videos and just generally feeling relaxed at the end of a stressful day.
Thank you for being you!
Love the little heart you made when you poured the steamed milk in the mug.
French press is my favorite method of making coffee! I love the process and the coffee is sooo good!!! ❤️
That milk frothing tip is INSANE I’m so excited to learn about this!
I'm a coffee lover who just got an espresso maker and put my French Press away but now I have more uses for it, thank you, I learned a few things and you are a great teacher.
I watched this video 2 years ago and just found out that she/they made it to the final round of world championship! She/they are such a gem!!
I don't think I've clicked on a notification faster than this. Love your content. Not much into Tiktok, but your YT content is amazing! :)
You’re so positive I love your energy! GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS
Excellent video. Thank you. Two years ago I bought an Espro French Press and never looked back. I found your method to be perfect. Thank you for the new ideas. 🙂
You saved my day! My coffee pot stop working after 5 years D: I always had a press but never used it, and now this coffee tastes better than anything the coffee maker made! I’ve been missing out! Thank you ✨💕
My dad taught me how to use one of these and it's my favourite way to make coffee at home
Thank You! I only started drinking coffee a couple of years ago and just recently bought a French press. You definitely have a gift for what you do! You have that "thing" that makes you attractive to anyone and relatable to anyone! Even if I didn't drink coffee, I would have enjoyed this vid! 😊
I absolutely loved this video. So helpful!! I'm definitely getting a French Press. The frothing part is such a great hack. Thank you ❤️
When I do the last method, I make the french press coffee more concentrated (like an espresso shot) by doing a smaller amount of water to coffee. You get a bit of crema and super concentrated “shot” haha. The end result is close to a latte for sure
I would say yes but espresso coffee is different from regular coffee. It is more roasted
You don't get crema with any French press method ideally you want to remove that foam. The only way you get crema is with espresso.
That "crema" is not really crema nor should you drink it. It needs to be scooped off as it's very bitter
@@vivienmartin225 Yes, there's a distinction of course.
i’ve been doing that for agess
These videos are actually getting me interested in coffee again. Last few years I've just been doing the same old. Here's hoping she does an Irish Coffee one of these days.
The host of this video is just adorable. She is both helpful and fun to watch!! Thank you for all the advice.
the trick with milk is absolutely amazing, thank you !!
Here is a fun thing that happened to me yesterday : I made a cold brew in a French press. It was so delicious that I drank it all within 3 hours. I ended up in the ER for breathing problems, they thought I had Covid but no it was an overdose of caffeine 😂 The lockdown apparently pulled my caffeine sensibility wayyy up! Anyway, thanks for your video 😘
i was not expecting this omg
It's also bec cold brew has way more caffeine than your regular hot coffee
Oh my!! Glad you're ok.
Caffeine is dangerous !
Oh geez! 😳 🤭 Duly noted!
I constantly use my French press for cold brew and I forget you can make hot coffee in it sometimes
Taylan Cantrell what ratios do you use?
@@brianakeen I have a 1000 ML French press with marks at every 200 ml. I usually fill with my grounds to somewhere between 100-200ML mark depending on the blend and how strong I want my cold brew to be and just leave in on the counter for 12-24 hours
yep, me too!
@@udittlamba Me three
Just found your video this morning , this video helped a lot and it's really easy too understand you and actually very enjoyable. Thanks
Such a wholesome coffee video, warmed my little coffee obsessed heart
I got a French press for my bday gift and I’m excited to do this!
I kept zoning out staring at the star wars art.
Right?! My spouse and I are Star Wars nerds and now I want to find some for when we can decorate our house.
@@pLanetstarBerry I think the artist that design those posters is @daniellesylvan
Your channel is absolutely life changing for me... I love you
So helpful! Glad you did cold brew and hot! And your heart came out so cute!! 💜
this channel should be called "MorganSpillsCoffee". loved this video ❤️
She might have high caffeine in her blood so she be that active on everything :)
Never thought i needed a french press until now
I just tries the latte trick with my French Press and it turned out to be really good. Thanks for the advice Morgan! I really enjoyed the drink.
I was pleasantly surprised with the latte. I did not expect that at all. I will be trying this tomorrow morning!! Thanks a bunch.
Oh God! I didn't know that I could make cold brew with a French press! I'm eternally grateful to you! 😭💕💕
NaughtyBoy by far the easiest and most effective method.
Leslie Dugger IKR! I’m trying it out asap! 😋💕
I started drinking black coffee because I wanted to stay awake, and I didn't like it.
But now I love it.
THE FOAMING OF THE MILK TRICK IS PURE GENIUS OMG
THANK YOU
Best easy coffee ☕ video. I have the French press but never knew how to use it. Thanks 👌.
You’re the cutest human bean I’ve ever seen 😭🤩

This was SO helpful! We got rid of the Keurig and got a French press and I was clueless! I'm super excited to play around with it now!!!
I love to make your honey and cinnamon coffee with my french press. I will either add it with my coffee grounds or my warm milk
Love your videos

Yay!! Thank you for this, I always struggle making coffee with my French press. Hopefully now after watching your video I’ll be able to master using my French press.
Found your channel, and it’s the greatest thing happened to me today! Thanks for the video, really helpful! ♥️
why hasn’t anyone ever told me you could “steam” milk like this?? thank you 😭😭😭
Gonna get myself a French press n ground coffee although I dun drink coffee. Miss the days being a barista ❤️
Thank You for making this video pretty lady! I wanted to know how to make freshly brewed coffee with ground beans, and now I know with your help. Looking forward to purchasing a French Press❤️😊
i know literally nothing about coffee but your videos are so relaxing! the vibes are immaculate maam
It shouldn’t be this easy to fall in love with someone 😳
Help
YES latte attempt at home.And my wife made fun of me having a french press
you blew my mind with the milk trick! trying it as soon as i can! thanks!
I learned more from this video than others about how to use a French Press! Thanks a bunch!
Tiny detail, you can heat the glass of the press up by swirling some hot water around the glass BEFORE you add the grounds.
Also what is the ratio of grounds to water for cold brew?
I first started doing cold brew in my Ikea french press (hey, it was cheap, it works, and the plunger comes apart for easy cleaning). Until my wife discovered that she also likes cold brew and the french press wouldn't make enough for the two of us. So, I ended up getting one of those 1 gallon cold brew kits (glass bottle with a spout at the bottom and a perforated metal insert that hangs into the water from the top) from Amazon. Works really well and it is our summer brew. The gallon usually lasts the two of us 4-5 days.
One thing that I've discovered, which might be an interesting topic to unpack for a future video, is some coffees really don't work well as cold brew. I get some really nice, nuanced beans as a monthly delivery from a local roaster. The beans are usually closer to a medium roast, and have really complex flavors when brewed through my regular drip coffee maker. But, the few times I've tried making cold brew with them, the flavor profile turns super floral. Kinda feels like grazing at the local florists... Not really my cup of coffee... So the video idea might be on how hot brew tastes differently from cold brew with the same beans.
Just made coffee in mine. It’s so yummy!!!😍 i put cream and maple syrup and vanilla in it and topped it with a little whipped cream! I’m in LOVE! Thank you for this video !
Oh my god, the milk frothing thing is brilliant. You just changed my life!
Seriously been trying to make latte art and have a French press. It’s definitely like you said a hit or miss because I can’t get rid of the bubbles! Don’t know wha him doing wrong but thank you for the video!
Sam Cardenas I think if you tap the container (not glass) on the counter like she did, it helps settle it, and let’s out the bubbles. But I’m not sure. Good luck. To me when it comes to my coffee it’s all about the taste and smell. Mmmm
I literally yelled "this is that pretty barista from tiktok!!!!" I'm glad I'm home alone lmaooo
This was a lot of fun! Thanks!
Great video! After this explanation, I just now ordered a French Press and subscribed. Love the look you have going!
Distilled water has problems with extraction due to lack of ions, soft water should be used, James Hoffman has a great video about that (he talks about it in filter jugs comparison)
Distilled water lacks everything, not only ions. I wouldn’t wanna drink that under any circumstances.
@@MrChitakifsy not in large quantities, wouldn't brewing coffee with it add enough solible material for it to be more or less fine to drink?
PszemonZmęczony well i guess everything it can extract from the coffee but still lots of minerals will be missing and that might do harm because distilled water washes them out of the body if ingested. Better stick with plain filtered water, i wouldn’t take any chances.
@@MrChitakifsy distilled water is not.meant for drinking, we use it in machines like vaporizers, autoclaves
Deb InPEI that’s the point, no one should drink that but the gal in the vid says that this is an option for some weird reason.
I feel like James Hoffman and I are the weirdos that never plunges the french press, pouring first and leaving it up all the way through. You seem so comfortable on screen that maybe you want to look into the world of competition coffee.
no yeah his method is definitely the best way to do a french press
She does competitions
Something about Morgan that makes me feel so much peaceful watching every video she has even though I am not much into coffee .... ❤
Absolutely love all your content, Morgan!!
The coffee, the star wars, the personality and the amazing hair....can we be best friends???
I know, love the hair! Very cute.
Everytime i make the "latte" or cafe au lait. I never end up getting to create the latte art I desire. even though I follow all the steps morgan mentioned. is it possible to overstretch the milk?
Honestly adore your content and your vibe and your HAIR omg 💗
I just bought a french press, super excited to use it.
I was distracted by the shelving filled with snacks in the background. Anyone else?
Definitely
Never thought of foaming milk like this! James Hoffman also has a good (a bit more involved) technique for a French Press, have a look.
So cute and refreshing! Makes me want to try all 3 without worrying about screwing up.
Those mugs are ADORABLE
in france, we call this device "an italian press"
hi 💕 if u are seeing this I just want to let you know you are beautiful even if you don’t realize it
This was a great video. Just got a French Press yesterday and so this was very helpful!!!
i finally got a french press and looked up your video on how to use it! i love your videos :)
Damn. Forgot to buy a barista apron for my French press in my home, looks like I'll not be using it for a while until I get one 😕
I would love to know where you obrained that French Press with the nifty little scoop!
it's an OXO french press. You can find it on their website (oxo.com)
your videos are genuinely so helpful, you’re really out here doing the lord’s work
I kinda enjoy watching her videos everydayyy, i felt relax because of how cute or good she describe everything. ❤️❤️ Worth watching every seconds.
To say it with the words of Russ Hanneman: "This guy ...."
"It's probably the closest you're gonna get if you don't have an espresso machine"
My family has used a Moka pot since forever, so hearing someone say this sounds crazy. Also in italy everyone uses a Moka pot as the main way to make coffee in the morning. I literally just made a latte an hour ago without an espresso machine or a french press.
Hey there! It might just be arguing semantics, but in the coffee community, a latte needs to have actual espresso in it to qualify. Moka pots, while great, technically can't create true espresso - just strong coffee. People often have the same confusion surrounding the aeropress. A large part of espresso creation is the pressure that is only possible in espresso machines, automatic or manual pressing. I myself have made plenty of cafe au lait with my Moka pot and would recommend them to anyone who doesn't have access to an espresso machine, though!
Does the moka pot create a crema in the espresso?
@@nellyhatesjelly Moka pots do not create crema on coffee, there may be some bubbles from the brewing process, but it's not really comparable to the colloid suspension that espresso extraction yields.
I C
I had to look up what a crema is. No it doesn't. According to Wikipedia a crema gives it a more full-bodied flavour and a longer lasting aftertaste. Maybe I should get an espresso machine, though I imagine they are prohibitively expensive and I have a balance of £1.21
The Boneless Boy thank you! I’m trying to get that crema without an espresso machine but it might be difficult
Using the French press to froth milk... what a game changer!! Thanks Morgan for the tip!!
Thanks it really helped me learned how to use my new French Press coffee maker,love it!😍
