Instructions: French Press – how to prepare coffee with French coffee maker

Place your French Press on a non-slippery surface and pull out the press with the filter from the cup.
Pour in some very hot (but not boiling) water into the mug to briefly heat the glass walls.
Add your ground coffee. The flavour is personal and you have to experiment with coffee doses but in general you should put generous teaspoon every 200 ml of water.
Pour hot water over your coffee, stir with a teaspoon, cover with the filter, and set aside for a few minutes.
Practice a gentle but constant pressure on the press to push the filter down. Pour the coffee into the cup and add milk or sugar to taste.
