    You have omitted the most important part. What quantity of coffee to how much water?

      I use 1/4 as much coffee and it comes out 10x as dark. One of us is doing something wrong. My method takes half as many steps and a third of the time. Between the application of Occam's razor and my ability to use fractions after 4/5 of a cup, I must be the one doing it right.

    • @monmixer
      @monmixer 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      1 level tablespoon of average coffee makes a 6 oz cup. I have know this since I was a child. Now if you are going to let it sit longer in that press it would likely be a little stronger.

      Yup. I have had very good results with "Toss in grounds. Boil water, let cool. Toss in water. Wait a bit. Push down filter. Pour. Drink." Maybe the drink could be improved via following those instructions, but I'm not enough of a coffee snob to tell the difference between when I do it "right" and when I do it my way. A french press really is stupid easy and you get a good cup of coffee out of it; it's what I use every day.
      One thing I will note: I use a double-walled steel press (sort of like a thermos). Glass ones have a nasty habit of shattering after a while, regardless of how careful I am with the thermal shock. And I have young kids and large dogs. The thing has taken a beating and kept working.

    • @EDMYuki
      @EDMYuki 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I know the comment is 8 months old so I am answering for those that want the answer. It keeps the water warm so that more flavor from the coffee goes into the water while it is sitting. The water is gradually cooling down in general, but if the container is not warmed then the water will suddenly drop in temperature the moment you are transferring it from the kettle to the french press.

    • @flxmkr
      @flxmkr 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Same reason you pour boiling water into a thermos and letting it set a few minutes before filling it with hot coffee. Keeps the coffee hotter. Think of it like a water bottle between the sheets on a cold winter's night.

    • @shanny6201
      @shanny6201 5 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      The press filters the coffee beans down to the bottom so they don't come out in your drink. If you did what you said, yeah you'd have some coffee, but you'd also have a mouth full of ground coffee beans

    • @fiftystate1388
      @fiftystate1388 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm with you in spirit, but the strainer helps with the big bits that float. - My thing about French press clips is the number of steps they take. Sure, I love a cup of coffee about as much as any daily drinker, and we all appreciate a 'craft brew.' But there's something satisfying about pressing that freaking plunger like an explosives expert and rewarding about leaving a tablespoon of half-mud coffee behind just to get on with the day.

      Fifty State explosive expert is just what I was thinking too. That plunge job did look quite ceremonial.

      Do your homework and a light blend meaning a White Rose you get more of the flavor of the coffee if you will so and you can find all this information on TH-cam when you go with a dock or roast means they cook the beans longer and you don't taste so much of the Coffee Bean which in my opinion you're losing the flavor of the coffee and that is a truth you are

  • @flxmkr
    @flxmkr 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Wait just a minute! Another video said to barely cover the grounds, place the lid on for one minute, remove lid, fill the rest of the way, place lid BACK on and wait four minutes. Somebody's lying! By the way, why do we need that initial ground breaking step (see what I did there? Ha! Groundbreaking) no, seriously. Why? I mean, why can't we just fill the jug in one clean swoop and wait five minutes to steep?
