how to use a french press

nothing starts off a saturday better than a good ol' french press at the studio
essentials: a FP, kettle & coffee grounds (largest grind size is best)
it's recommended to use level 2 tbsp of coffee for every 6 oz of water ...
... so i always use about 8 tbsp with 3 cups of water (24 oz)
(just to make it easy on a pre-caffeinated brain)
after adding 8 tbsp of level coffee grounds followed by 3 cups of water i mix it all up and let it steep for a couple minutes
plunging time!
make sure to press down in an even, controlled manner, keeping the rod totally straight
coffee is served!
