The French press coffee-brewing method is a favorite among coffee lovers. What stands out about this method is its ability to bring out of the beans that rich, complex flavors.

These are the six simple steps you need to follow to make a French press using freshly ground beans:

1.   Add coarsely ground coffee, preferably freshly roasted and ground, to your carafe. Use one tablespoon per serving.

2.   Boil the water in a kettle, then allow it to cool to 205°F. You’ll need one cup per tablespoon of grounds.

3.   Pour about half the water into your French press and allow the coffee to bloom for one minute.

4.   Add the remaining hot water, then let it sit for at least three minutes to allow the coffee to steep. If you want a strong brew, you can let it steep a little longer.

5.   Press the plunger gently, using just the weight of your hand, as far as it will go.

6.   Serve immediately for the best flavor.
