French Press?? Mais Oui!

I tried making homemade french press coffee today.  No need going to an Illy café, le Barista Lucy at your service!  It's so simple.  Follow my lead and enjoy!

Boil approximately 4 cups of water (preferably in a tea
pot so it's easy to pour) and set aside

While your water boils, have your fresh coffee
grounds (2 tbl sp/1 cup of water) and your
coffee press waiting...

Add coffee grounds in the press
**Remember: 2 tbl spoons/1 cup of water

...then pour the hot water slowly over the grounds
making sure that the water spout covers

Once you've added the appropriate water/coffee grounds ratio,
stir the mixure with a wooden 'something-or-other'. I used a chop stick.
Metal could shatter the glass so use something wooden or plastic. See
the "bloom" forming.  "Bloom" is technical, looks like foam to me :)

Now let the coffee mixure seep for about 4 minutes.  The longer it
seeps the stronger the coffee.  I say for 4 cups of coffee, 4 min. is
PERFECTION!  But do some tests to figure out your PERFECTION!

Now we press!  Place the press on top and slowly,
using the weight of your hand, plunge down evenly 

And ta da!  With a "steady pour and an even plunge", you have your very own
french press coffee!  **Bananna doesn't come with, but tastes great with! Enjoy xx
