Coffee is Life
Nothing beats a good, strong cup of coffee in the morning. It should come as no surprise that we are big coffee drinkers here at Fit Foodie Finds. Do we drink too much coffee? Sometimes. Do we try to balance our days off with water and tea? You betcha.
What makes the perfect cup of coffee you ask? Hot, strong, and black! But, that’s just our opinion.
What is French Press Coffee?
French press coffee is a method of brewing coffee that uses a device called a “French Press.” A French press is like a plunger that meets a strainer. It allows you to brew ground coffee in a container by brewing, pressing, and straining all in one.
After the coffee is brewed, you press the ground coffee beans to the bottom of the container using pressure, which leaves you strong, bold, beautiful coffee.
why our recipe is a little different
Typically French Press coffee is created by weighing your coffee grounds to get the most perfect ratio of ground beans to water. However, we know that weighing your coffee beans isn’t always in the cards.
This is why we are using cups to measure both beans and water.
Why do we love French Press Coffee?
There are so many reasons. We gravitate towards making French press coffee most mornings at Fit Foodie HQ (first and foremost) because it is a way to brew really good coffee for more than one person at a time.
We prefer a pot of French press coffee over a coffee machine because we have a bit more control over water temperature, how long the coffee brews, and it is usually the perfect amount of coffee for 3-4 people.
What is the Best French Press?
First things, first. What is the best French Press? We are personal fans of the Bodum‘s French Press products. It is a tried and true French press that all three of us own and use. We love that it’s glass and that the handle doesn’t get hot when you pour the water in.
In addition to Bodum’s French press, we also love their other coffee accessories as well! Check them out below.
