Looks good, right?

(Guest Author Greg Pappas)  I busted out my french press for the first time in a good while,  and I just made the smoothest cup of coffee. How?

Simple. Just read the directions below and you’ll have one smooth cup of delicious coffee.

 

 

 

 

  1. 3 tablespoons of grounded coffee  (This is the perfect amount for my 3 cup french press. Adjust accordingly)
  2. Boil filtered water around 190 degrees (I have an electric kettle with a thermostat. Get one. I recommend it for everything)
  3. Pour water over grounds and stir. Let it sit for three minutes UNCOVERED. This is important; the grounds need to bloom.
  4. Once the time has passed, scoop out the grounds and plunge down the coffee. I find scooping out the grounds makes for a better, rounded flavor.

And that’s all there is to it. You may not even need cream it’s so dang smooth.
