Gourmet Coffee

A coffee press or plunger pot is one of the purest methods of brewing your gourmet coffee beans. The coffee press brings out a richer flavor from your coffee beans that you cannot achieve from even the best coffee makers. It does take a little more work to brew your coffee this way but it is rewarding and a little fun doing it the manual way. Here are the quick steps to use your coffee press:

1. Boil the amount of water your are going to use on your stove.
   
2. Grind your beans and measure one tablespoon for each 6 oz. of water.
3. Add coffee grounds to the bottom of the coffee press.
4. Take the boiling water off the stove and pause a few moments then pour it about half of it over the coffee grounds. Stir then add the rest of the water.
   
5. Place the plunger and top over the water and grounds and wait 4-5 minutes for the coffee to brew. Then press the plunger straight down but very slowly.

Pour your cup and enjoy!
