Equipment
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup espresso roast coffee beans medium-fine ground
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Grind your coffee beans to a medium-fine grind, and measure out ⅔ cups. Pour the ground coffee into your French press and set aside.
- Bring your water to a simmer on the stovetop. Once simmering, remove from heat. Pour a few splashes of hot water into the French press and swirl the coffee grounds around. Let it sit for 30 seconds (this will help the espresso be as smooth as possible).
- After 30 seconds, add the remaining water and swirl the coffee grounds again. Place the lid of the French press on but don't plunge it down. Allow it to steep for 4 minutes.
- After the 4 minutes, plunge the French press down slowly, then pour your espresso into mug of choice!
