French Press Coffee Experiment

Ingredients:
12 oz cold tap water
3 scoops coarsely ground coffee (3 Beans Coffee, Medium Roast, arabica, Whole Foods)
  • Freshly ground coffee placed into french press.
  • Water heated in an electric kettle and poured into the french press just below the boiling point.
  • Coffee stirred using plastic spoon.
  • Coffee steeped for 4 minutes.
  • French press plunger slowly depressed to filter out the coffee grounds from the coffee.
  • Coffee consumed immediately before it got too cold.
Results:  Very good medium cup of coffee.  Not too sweet or too bitter with a medium mouthfeel.  Cools quickly and starts to become more bitter. 

Next Steps:  Will stick with coarse grind but should compare results to those from the more standard drip coffee brewing with the same beans.
