How to Make French Press Coffee
Please tell me why I didn’t learn to do this years ago. Making French press coffee is so simple that I found myself literally slapping my own forehead at how I had missed out on this.
The truth is that coffee has become a driving force in my life relatively recently, so (thankfully) I can’t regret too much lost time. However, the discovery of how to make French press coffee is something I must share with any of you who have not tried it yet.
Since learning how to make French press coffee, I have made it part of my daily routine. I have the most adorable mini French press, and just looking at it sitting on the counter brings a smile to my face.
Today, I’m using a new creamer from Silk. Silk Almond Creamers are non-dairy, non-GMO, gluten free, and lactose free. Did I mention they come in lovely flavors? There’s Vanilla, Caramel, and Hazelnut to choose from!
I picked up my Silk Almond Creamer in the dairy case at Walmart.
All three flavors have no artificial flavors or colors, no cholesterol, and no saturated fat. The subtle nutty flavor, combined with Vanilla, Caramel, or Hazelnut, can transform your coffee into a real coffeehouse style flavored coffee.
They’re a perfect addition to your daily cup of coffee. Plus, Silk Almond Creamers are an excellent option for when you have company that prefers dairy-free creamer. Try adding it to your French press coffee!
You’ll find that using the French press coffee method will add a richness and depth of flavor to a cup of coffee that drip coffee just can’t math. Plus, it’s grand fun. Enjoy!
How to Make French Press Coffee
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coarsely ground coffee French press grind
- 6 ounces Water
Equipment
- French press coffee pot
Instructions
- Remove the lid and plunger assembly from the French press coffee pot.
Add 2 tablespoons of ground coffee for every 6 ounces of water you plan to use. To make more than one serving, multiply the measurements above by the number of servings you wish to make.
Add very hot (between 195 and 205 F) water (6 ounces per serving).
- Stir gently to swirl the coffee through the water.
- Place the lid on with the plunger all the way up. Steep for about 4 minutes.
Gently and slowly press the plunger all the way down.
- Serve immediately. Don't let the coffee sit in the pot, or it may get too strong.

February 18, 2016 at 11:53 amI am not a coffee drinker but one of my best friends is and swears by the french press. My son however is a coffee drinker and wants me to buy that nasty powered creamer. I think I will pick up some of this silk almond creamer for him to try. I like that it has none of the nasty stuff in it that most other creamers have.

February 18, 2016 at 3:46 pmOoh, I love coffee, and if it’s freshly pressed it’s even better! I usually drink it black, but those creamers seem amazing! Creamers aren’t that common in Norway (everyone drinks black coffee here, haha), but I’ll make sure to try those the next time I’m in the US! 🙂

February 19, 2016 at 9:32 pmI am not a coffee drinker, but my mom-in-law and my daughter both enjoy coffee every day. I’ll have to share this with them. Maybe, I’ll even make some for them when they visit again!

I’ve been fascinated by the french press, but have never taken the time to try since I have Keurig! Thanks for sharing!
Katie
February 21, 2016 at 10:49 amI swear, it’s the most FUN way to make coffee!

February 21, 2016 at 7:23 amI don’t think I’ve tried French press coffee yet; which makes sense since I don’t drink coffee that much after all. However, I’m curious enough to try it! Thanks for sharing!

February 22, 2016 at 4:16 pmThis looks delicious!! I have a love of coffee but I must admit the process behind making those special brews is lost to me. Yet I think this is something I could actually accomplish! Thanks so much for sharing…

February 23, 2016 at 12:27 pmCoffee is my thing I can’t start my day without it. I tried this creamer few months ago since ten I’m in love with it.

February 25, 2016 at 8:38 amI was never a coffee person until last year… then it just became a “thing” all the sudden!

February 24, 2016 at 1:49 pmBecause of my hubby I have become a coffee aficionado too. We love to travel to different towns and look into the local coffee roaster they have. Lately I have been taking my coffee only via French Press or Slow Pour. I absolutely love the taste when it is done in either way. Thanks for sharing your tutorial post!
Katie
February 25, 2016 at 8:35 amI am going to have to look into the Slow Pour method! At the Four Seasons, they had one of those big glass siphon contraptions. That was neat! Currently, I’m drinking Hula Daddy Kona coffee, which is incredible.
