1. Add ground coffee to the bottom of the French press carafe. Use a ratio of 1 tablespoon ground coffee to 4 oz. of water.

2. Bring water a boil (about 195 degrees Fahrenheit) and add to the French press carafe. Stir to mix with the coffee grounds.

3. Place the lid and filter on top of the press and steep 90 seconds to 4 minutes depending on your desired flavour. The longer you let your coffee steep, the stronger the flavour will be.

4. Press down on the French press “plunger” with a firm, yet slow motion to strain the beans from the liquid brew.
