How to Use a French Press :)! ❤

Maybe some of you peepies out there..Are already wondering how?or what is a French Press?..
Well Good-job..Pixi3 is here..Your questions will be answered..and not be bobbing around in your head..
To be Fair..I actually had the same questions running around in my head last month,until I thought, 'you know what, I'm going to test a french press out'.

So that's exactly what I did..Of-course I bought mine off Ebay..it was very cheap I have to say..All I needed then was some delicious Coffee..Nothing can beat a Starbucks, so I say:P!
The French Presses can come in different sizes..It depends on how many cupfuls you want to drink..I bought a 3 cup one.

It's important to remember that the coffee suitable to use for a french press is Coarse Grind Coffee..You can purchase this in many coffee shops such as Starbucks, Costa, some major supermarkets brands include Starbucks, Ily etc but check the packet first for suitability which can also be called a Cafeteria , I also found alot on the internet too..But If you are a Starbucks Lurver..Like me..You can purchased their whole coffee beans, in store..and If you ask for them to grind it for you..depending on what cafeteria you have..they will happily help do that:)!

The main equipment needed for this process to take place properly is your coarse grind coffee beans:-
  • Your French Press Coffee maker
  • A kettle or boiling hot water..It is also suitable to boil water from a hob
Firstly: You will find a nozzle/ball on top of the french press pull it up gently, this will take the the lid off the french press

Once; you have gently taken off the lid, take a teaspoon, or the plastic spoon provided with the french press and scoop the coffee grind in the french press. The amount of coffee depends on your preferred taste, for a more stronger taste I would advise 2-3 scoops of coffee grind beans.

After you have scooped the coffee grind beans in the french press..you then add the boiling water near the top of the french press But..again the amount of water you add depends on your preferred taste of how strong you like your coffee

Now you stir mixture of the coffee grind beans and the boiling water together..Until it is all blended together

Wait for four minutes, This is where you have to push the lid of the french press down slowly and gently..Remember the aim is to have the gauge (sieve looking thing at the bottom of the press) collect all the excess of the left over coffee grind beans at the bottom...It wouldn't be nioce to consume them..just like you wouldn't want to drink the remains of a tea-bag.

You are now ready to pour your freshly made coffee into a mug of your choice and add your preferred milk and sugar..then enjoy:)!
This is what I purchased from Ebay, just before Christmas..I screamed with excitement when it arrived..My fiance' thought I was crazy..Alongside my Famous Starbucks Coffee:D!
