How to Make French Press Coffee: Ratio, Grind, and Timing
Add coarse-ground coffee to your french press at a 1:15 ratio by weight — 30 grams of coffee per 450 grams of water.
This collection is the counter-side companion for every brewer you own: french press, pour over, drip, AeroPress, and beyond. Each guide gives you a complete, followable recipe — dose in grams, grind size, water temperature, and a timed sequence — plus the reasoning behind each number so you can adjust with confidence instead of guessing. We write every method guide the same way: state the ratio up front, recompute the math for common batch sizes, and be honest about what actually changes the cup versus what is ritual. Where methods disagree — steep times, bloom pours, plunge technique — we say which variables matter most and which you can safely ignore.
