French Press Coffee Tutorial

October 7, 2015 by Michael Allen Smith

If you are looking for purchase recommendations, check out our French Press Guide.

Of all the different coffee brewing methods, the one I’ve used the most has been the French Press. Also known as a press pot or Melior, the French Press is a simple way to make a rich delicious cup of coffee.

The French Press is a low tech portable coffee brewing method. Let hot water steep over coarsely ground coffee for 3-4 minutes before pressing down the filter and serving. It doesn’t get more simple than that. This tutorial will go into grind, water temperature, steep time and fixing common issues when the brew is less than perfect.

#1 Dosing The Coffee

By weight or by volume? Weighing will give you more repeatable results than using volume, as there can be more variance measuring when using tablespoons than a gram scale. However, the French Press is pretty forgiving so either method is fine. We will cover both methods.

Measure By Weight

There is no consensus on the ideal brewing ratio for the French Press. Before putting this tutorial together, I visited the recommendations of many roasters and discovered ratios between 10:1 and 18:1. When I threw out the outliers and averaged the rest, the ratio came out to 15.5:1. That means 15.5 grams of water for every 1 gram of coffee.

The fact the ranges were so different speaks to the fact that French Press coffee can taste great using different measurements and precision is less important than other brewing methods.

Measure By Volume

Going by volume, a good starting point is to use 1 tablespoon of coffee for every 4 fluid ounces of water. Some of the stronger recipes say 1 tablespoon of coffee for every 3 ounces. You may increase the amount of coffee to your desired taste. Below is a general range to get you started.

• Bodum 3 cup (12 oz) = 3-4 tablespoons
• Bodum 4 cup (17 oz) = 4-5 tablespoons
• Bodum 8 cup (34 oz) = 9-10 tablespoons
• Bodum 12 cup (51 oz) = 13-15 tablespoons

#2 Grind Coffee and Heat Water

Before you start grinding the coffee, heat up some water.

The French Press uses a coarse grind. See the photo below.

#3 Add Coffee and Water to French Press

Add the ground coffee into the French Press. Once the water reaches boil, wait about 30 seconds before pouring onto the coffee. This will lower the temperature from boiling to around 200° F, which is ideal for brewing.

Start a timer and pour water onto the coffee grounds.

When you pour the water into the French Press there may be a bloom at the top where the coffee is either clumped or not making contact with the water. You can minimize that by pouring slowly in a controlled manner.

#4 Stir (or not)

Even if you pour slowly, there might be coffee grounds clumped at the top that aren’t in contact with water. A gentle stir will solve that problem.

I used to stir the entire French Press. That is not necessary. Just stir the top inch. Use a chopstick or spoon. Some advise using a wooden spoon as there have been cases where a metal spoon has cracked the glass of the French Press. But if you are gentle, that shouldn’t be a concern. The goal here is to get all the coffee making contact with water.

After this, place the plunger on top of the coffee pot in the up position. This will minimize heat loss. Don’t press down yet.

#5 After 3-4 Minutes Press Down Slowly

The recommended brew time for the French Press ranges from 2.5 – 6 minutes, with the most commonly cited time being 4 minutes.

I have brewed thousands of French Press pots and prefer 3.5 minutes. Full extraction and rich without being too heavy. Fellow INeedCoffee contributor Chris Arnold likes 2.5 minutes. At the other end of the spectrum, Seattle Coffee Works advises a 6 minute steep for Indonesian coffees (4 minutes for other beans). This will come down to personal preference.

Beyond all the debates about optimal brewing times, is the reality that in the kitchen we can easily become distracted waiting for our coffee to finish brewing. The longer the brew time, the more opportunities for distraction. Aiming for a 3 to 3.5 minute brew time has worked much better for me than the 4 to 6 minute range.

When it does come time to press the plunger down, be gentle. Slow and even. It should have some resistance, but not too much. If there is no resistance, you might need to grind a little finer. If it is too hard to press down, use a coarser grind.

#6 Serve Coffee

Pour and enjoy. French Press coffee will have some sediment. To minimize getting that grit, I usually leave 1/2-1 inch of coffee in the press pot. I also don’t drink the last mouthful of each mug. The sediment doesn’t really bother me, but I’d like to end each mug of coffee where the first sip tastes as good as the last sip, so I avoid the last few drops.

Troubleshooting Bad Coffee

Beginners can make some mistakes early on that may result in less-than-optimal coffee. Below is a list of some common press pot problems and my solution.

Coffee Tastes Weak

Most likely the grind is too coarse. Grind the coffee a little finer. Also, make sure you are allowing the coffee to steep for 3-4 minutes.

Coffee Tastes Bitter

The coffee may have been ground too fine. Next time use a coarser grind. If the coffee is dark roasted, make sure the coffee is fresh and lower the brewing temperature to 195 F.

Coffee Taste Too Strong

Use a 3 minute steep. Don’t let the brewed coffee sit inside the glass beaker brewing. Move it from the press pot to a thermal container or just brew what you need. Also note that if you’ve been accustomed to drinking drip coffee, press pot coffee will taste richer (stronger) at first.

Gritty/Thick Sediment

This could be a problem with the filter. If the filter doesn’t fit snug against the glass, coffee sediment will go into the upper chamber. Filters can become damaged. You can purchase replacement filters.

Sediment Woes

If everything tastes right, but the sediment is bothering you then consider purchasing the Espro Press, which has a tighter filter than traditional French Press coffee brewers. Another option is to cut up a paper filter as shown in this hack.

Water Takes Too Long to Boil

I feel your pain. Only boil the amount needed for your press pot. In other words, don’t completely fill your kettle. If heating the water still takes too long, consider getting an electric kettle. An electric kettle is one of the best investments you can make.

Inconsistent Grind

My guess is you have one of those $20 blade grinders. Some of the coffee is coarsely ground and some is ground fine. Getting an excellent grind from a blade grinder takes practice. Buying a burr grinder is ultimately a better solution.

The stainless steel french press is easy to disassemble and clean. Although it’s not necessary to disassemble before cleaning, every so often you would want to give your press pot a complete cleaning. For more instructions read Keeping Your French Press Clean. For day to day cleaning, I just give my brewer a quick rinse. Every so often, I will disassemble the parts and do a more thorough cleaning.

Final Thoughts

Once you’ve dialed in the grind and the dosage, the French Press is a very easy way to make great coffee. if you don’t have a French Press already, check out Buying a French Press – Picking the Right One. You can also use the French Press to make Cold Brew Coffee.

Bodum French Press Instructions Manual

Synopsis: Make great tasting coffee with the Bodum French Press. Step by Step instructions as indicated in the user manual.

2. For each 1.25 dl, 4 oz cup, put 1 rounded tablespoon or 1 BODUM scoop of coarse ground coffee into the pot. CAUTION: Use only coarse ground coffee. Fine grind can clog the filter and create high pressure. Place coffee maker on a heat proof, non-slip surface.

3. Pour hot (not boiling) water into the pot. Leave a minimum of 2.5 cm, 1 inch of space at the top. Stir the brew with a plastic spoon. CAUTION: Metal spoons can scratch or chip the glass beaker and cause breakage.

4. Place the plunger unit on top of the pot. Turn the lid to close off the pour spout opening (does not apply to the Brazil models). Do not press down. Let the coffee brew for at least 4 minutes.

5. Hold the pot handle firmly with the spout turned away from you, then using just the weight of your hand, apply slight pressure on top of the knob to lower the plunger straight down into the pot. Lowering the plunger slowly with minimal pressure produces best results. If the filter clogs or it becomes difficult to push down the plunger you should remove the plunger from the pot, stir the brew and then slowly plunge again. WARNING: Using excessive force can cause scalding liquid to shoot out of the pot.

6. Turn the lid to open the pour spout and then pour coffee.

7. Unscrew the filter assembly and clean the plunger unit after each use. All parts are dishwasher safe.

You may have never heard of siphon coffee making. Then again, you may have read about it in the New York Times and thought it was some $20,000 gizmo used by crazy coffee nerds in San Francisco. You may have heard of it under a plethora of other names - vacpots, vacuum brewed coffee, siphon brewer, siphon vacuum coffee, and all sorts of word combinations.

How Do Siphon Coffee Makers Work

A vacuum coffee maker works on the principle of expansion and contraction of gases - actually one gas, water vapour - is what allows the device to brew a full infusion style of coffee and filter the grounds efficiently, leaving a generally clean, pristine cup.

How to Use a Siphon Coffee Maker

Enough preamble - here's the reason you're reading the article - the visual how-to. This is our preferred method for using a siphon coffee maker, but it is by no means the only way to brew with these devices. In fact, there's plenty of debate online today by people who have newly discovered these devices, and how different things like stirring techniques, steep times, and even the use of cold vs. preheated water can affect the taste. Some of these theories and practices are interesting to try out, while others seem like a bit of fluffery with no real effect on the cup at best, and a detrimental effect on the cup at the worst.

Here's a Yama 2 Cup glass and alcohol burner vacpot with a cloth filter and bamboo stirrer. It comes with the alcohol burner, but we'll be using a butane burner for this how to.

The filter is installed by dropping it in the top vessel, and pulling the beaded metal cord down and hooking it on the bottom of the siphon. This keeps everything in place.

We recommend starting with off-the-boil water to speed things up. You can start with fresh cold water, but in blind tastings, it doesn't make a difference, as long as the water is high quality.

Another argument for starting with hot water - if you start with cold water and assemble everything before heating, some water will creep up the siphon long before its temperature is optimal for good extraction.

Grind just before brewing - not minutes before. We're using the amazing Finca Matalapa from Intelligentsia Coffee in this brew. Grind is just slightly finer than drip.

Gently insert the siphon vessel portion into the bottom glass container, taking care to not knock the siphon (it can chip if you're excessively reckless). Ensure a good seal with the rubber gasket.

We're using a small butane burner ($30-$50) which is very efficient and has a controllable flame, which is important for the brewing process. Right now, it's running on high.

As the water starts moving up to the top vessel, give a few stirs to fully saturate the grounds. At this point you also want to lower the flame a bit.

Continue stirring to fully saturate and mix the grounds with the water, and further reduce the flame on the burner. The idea is to have just enough flame to keep the water up top, keep the production of some steam or vapour "bubbles" to pass through the brewing coffee. We don't want the top boiling - just brewing.

With different sized vacpots (and different heating methods), different steep times are required. Because we're controlling the flame to a minimum for a "gentle" brew, we're steeping this about 70, 75 seconds.

With a standalone siphon coffee maker, completely remove the heat source (don't just turn it off) to start the kick down phase. We recommend removing it completely so there's no residual heat coming up from the burner to slow down the kick down.

As the vapour gas in the bottom vessel starts to contract, shrink, and change back to water, it creates a partial vacuum of negative pressure, and pulls the brewed coffee through the filter back to the bottom vessel.

The kick down is almost complete, and things have sped up a bit. Some recommend wrapping a wet cloth around the bottom vessel to speed up the kickdown further, but we do not recommend this - it can result in cracked and imploding glass.

At the end of the kick down, air is sucked very rapidly through the spent coffee grounds to fill the vacuum in the bottom vessel, resulting in bubbling and turbulence. This is the indicator that your brew is done.

At this point, you can carefully remove the siphon vessel portion of the vacpot, placing it in the lid / built in stand.

Your siphon coffee maker experience is done, and you're ready to enjoy some fantastic coffee!

What Kind of Filters Exist for Siphon Coffee Makers

When you buy a new siphon coffee maker it comes with a filter, and usually some replacements for the filter material. There are a wide range of filters that have been made in the past and are continued to be made today, and many of them can be used to replace the filtering device that came with your brewer if you're not happy with it. Here's a breakdown of the most common filters available today.

Some believe you get the best overall cup from a clean cloth filter (as compared to other filters) because unlike paper, cloth filters allow the most volatile oils from the coffee grounds to pass through.

Paper (with plastic and/or metal shaper): The Hario Nouveau siphon coffee brewer (and other brewers) uses a steel holder/paper combination that is effective and fairly efficient. It can be purchased separately as well. You end up with a coffee filtered in the same method as auto drip, which is a detriment to some because paper can impede some of the more volatile oils and aromas from passing through into the final brew. But hey, you're brewing at optimum temps with a vac pot, and most auto drip owners can't say the same. Cleanup is easy - remove filter, rinse over the sink (or shake over the garbage can), untwist the top plastic clamping disc, drop the paper filter, rinse plastic once more, done.

Glass: All glass filters are available to this very day if you can find them - the Cona Glass Rod Filter. But they weren't the first. A now-defunct but major American appliance brand named Cory made their reputation partially on their "Cory Glass Rod" which ironically was originally created for tea brewing, not coffee. They modified the original Cory Glass Rod, calling the original name of "Cory New Glass Rod" after optimizing its size and shape for coffee brewing. The device is a long glass tube with a bulbous, rough middle. The Cona rod is very similar in shape, but better made. These glass rods sit inside the siphon tube with the bulbous part acting as the filter at the top of the tube. The rough (but not sharp) surface of the middle was the filter - coffee grounds would get trapped in the little channels between the bumps, but liquid would still pass through. In practice, these glass filters allow a fair amount of sediment to pass into the brewed coffee. Some find this beneficial, others do not.

Nylon Mesh: Several electric siphon coffee brewers, including the (now defunct) Black and Decker Infuze, or the Bodum Electric Santos, use a one piece filter assembly that has nylon mesh inserts to allow brewed coffee to pass through. These are fairly effecient designs, letting more coffee oils pass through than paper does, but they are quite fragile and easily torn. Cleanup is pretty easy - some are rated as dishwasher safe.

I also wanted to cover some other filtering devices that are either quite rare today, or no longer manufactured. Some of these devices are quite efficient at what they do, and hopefully will make a comeback.

Metal (non mesh): Some believe this is the best filter ever created - the Nicro metal filter. It consists of two shallow bowl discs with cutouts on them (cutouts are offset to each other), a center spine that perforates both bowls, and a chain and spring loaded device to secure it to the bottom of your syphon filter. It does let more sediment pass compared to cloth or paper. Cleaning: a no brainer - rinse, dry, drop in dishwasher, whatever. This is the main reason why people love it so much - easiest filter to clean, and still brews a great cup of cup of coffee.

On the left is a butane burner which fits most standalone siphon coffee makers. On the right is the standard cloth wick alcohol burner they typically ship with.

When it comes to heating the water in a siphon coffee maker, you usually have two options with some sub-options: either the vacpot is designed for stovetop (electric or gas) use, or for a self-contained heating device like an alcohol wick burner or a butune burner. The shape of the bottom vessel usually tells the tale - if it's flat, it is designed for stovetop use. If it is round, it's designed to hang above a heating source.

Grinding and Timing Basics

When it comes to the coffee and the grind, I grind based on the filtering material. If I'm using cloth filters, I tend to grind fine - a fine drip grind or even finer. If I'm using paper, just a normal drip grind is good. If I'm using all metal or glass filters, then I grind a tad coarse. Experiment with your grind to find what works best for you.
