Coarse Ground Coffee for French Press
The French press method thrives on immersion, where coarse coffee grounds are fully submerged in hot water, extracting rich, full flavors without bitterness. The grind should resemble sea salt—too fine, and you'll end up with sediment in your cup and a bitter taste. For the best results, always start with freshly roasted whole beans, grinding them just before brewing. This ensures that you capture the peak of the coffee’s natural oils and aromas, giving you a truly exceptional cup.

How to Make the Perfect French Press Coffee
-
Measure and Grind - Start with 1 ounce (about 28 grams) of Verena Street coffee beans for every 15 ounces (450 milliliters) of water. Use a burr grinder to achieve a coarse, even grind. If you prefer convenience, you can also purchase our pre-ground coffee, perfectly ground for French press
-
Boil and Cool Water - Heat water to about 200°F (93°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, let the water sit for 30 seconds after boiling to reach the right temperature.
-
Add Coffee Grounds - Place the coarse coffee grounds into the French press.
-
Bloom the Coffee - Pour a small amount of water over the grounds, just enough to saturate them. Wait 30 seconds to let the coffee bloom, which releases trapped carbon dioxide and enhances flavor.
-
Add Remaining Water - Pour in the rest of the water and stir gently to ensure all grounds are evenly immersed.
-
Steep - Place the lid on the French press with the plunger pulled all the way up. Let the coffee steep for 4 minutes.
-
Press and Serve - Slowly press the plunger down, applying steady pressure. Pour your freshly brewed coffee immediately to avoid over-extraction.
