Mug French Press Questions
french press size….?
I was just wondering [roughly] how many mugs of coffee an 8-cup French press would make. I would only be needing it for myself in the morning but I fear a 3-cup might be cutting it close and even lack versatility.
A french press is measured in espresso-sized (2oz) shots. If you have a 12-16oz mug, a 8-cup press will be perfect. I use a 12-cup press since my mug is 20oz.
You can always fill it with less coffee & water, so getting a bigger pot isn’t bad.
The Guidelines To Creating The Ideal Mug Of Coffee
Coffee is America’s drink. Most people start their day with a steaming cup of Joe. Many are relegated to purchasing over priced drinks from local cafes because the perfect cup eludes them at home. Here we will outline the steps needed to brew your own at home.
Always use clean equipment when brewing. Anything left if the machine will either go rancid or burn. This will give the new batch of coffee a bitter flavor.
Obtain the freshest beans you can. This usually means buying at a specialty store instead of the super market. Coffee is a perishable product, so the fresher it is, the better the flavor will be. You don’t want beans that have been sitting around getting stale.
Only buy as many beans as you will use. It doesn’t matter how good a sale is on a great bean, if it goes stale it is no longer a great bean. Sitting around the house is just as bad for a bean as sitting around a grocery store.
The basis of the brew is water. If the water isn’t good, neither is the Joe. If the tap water tastes good on its own use that. If it doesn’t, use filtered water.
Grind the beans just before use. Have a grinder at home to take care of this job. Fresh grind means fresh tasting java.
Make sure that you are using the right size grind for the brew method of your choice. If a percolator is used, coarse grind is called for. Medium grind is what most people would use. This is appropriate for drip machines and French presses. Fine grind is mostly used in Europe in vacuum and Neapolitan flip methods. Extra fine grind is used in espresso machines.
Always make sure that the right amount of grounds are used. One six ounce cup needs 2 tablespoons of grounds. More grounds do not make a better cup and wastes beans. Less than 2 tablespoons makes the water work too hard to extract flavors leading to the leaching of bitter tannins from the beans.
Store beans in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Putting beans in the fridge will expose them to moisture, which will ruin flavor. If beans must be put in the freezer, use them within 2-3 months.
It is important that the water used for brewing be very hot, but NOT boiling. For most people this is not an issue because they have automatic machines. This is important to keep in mind when using a French press.
Before serving, stir the brew after it has been made. This gets all the particles off the bottom and evenly distributes the oils. This will make all the cups more consistent.
Store any remaining coffee in a thermal carafe or thermos. This will keep it hot and fresh without scalding it on the hot plate of a machine.
Following easy steps and making them a routine will ensure a consistently delicious and fresh cup of coffee. It is easier than you think.
