How to make strong coffee in your French Press:

The French Press or Cafetière style of brewing is very common. Understandably so, it's inexpensive, quick and makes a delicious cup. 

Let's get down to the detail, how to make a strong coffee in your French press or Cafetière. First of all, start with our gymBrew coffee blend! The following the below steps:

1. Weigh & Grind

 Use a medium to coarse grind, roughly 22g per cup. 

 2. Grounds & Water

Pop the coffee grinds in the cafetiere, slowly add the boiling water ensuring the grinds are completely covered. Use 170ml of water per cup. 

3. Brew & Pour

Leave the coffee for around 5 minutes, longer if you like it even stronger. Place the plunger onto the pot and slowly press down. If there is a lot of resistance, there may be too much coffee or it’s too finely ground. When fully pressed, pour into your favourite mug. 

Easy - your lovely strong coffee is done. Enjoy!
