Coarsely ground coffee, add to canister. Add hot water-i use a kettle but stovetop is fine. See instructions for suggested exact temp if youre picky. Slowly push down press, moving ground coffee to bottom of canister. Pour into cup directly from canister, it also has a strainer on spout just in case.

You put grounds in along with hot water. I heat water in a kettle. I'm sure you could use a microwave. I let my coffee "brew" about 4 minutes before I press the grounds down through the water. The flavor is amazing because there isnt a filter absorbing all the flavorful oils. You can go to a coffee shop and request your coffee to be French pressed if you want to try it first.

I heat the water in an electric auto shut off pot. Add grinds to the french press, add boiling water once done, cover, let sit for less than a minute while I heat milk for thirty seconds in the microwave, push top down on press gently, pour into milk already in cup. A few less steps if you like black coffee. Easier and more efficient than an electric percolator and gives me just the right amount. Good luck.

I put coarse ground coffee in the press then I use a glass measuring pitcher at 2.5 cups for 4 min in microwave. Pour hot water into the press with the coffee and I brew 7 or 8 min so it little stronger. Yummy!

I personally would not use it as such. I always heat water in a regular pan and then transfer it to the french press. I do not want to take any chances of ruining my press. Not at all worth it in my opinion.

NO! French presses use a metal strainer. You completely defeat the purpose and design and Great Coffee by doing anything other than brewing the way you sould. If you want to heat the water in the microwave and then put into the French Press outside of the microwave - that's okay. always use clean fresh cold water to start, water should be just below boiling and stir the coffee and water.

The coffee should be very rich and full flavored. Use 2.2g per ounce of filtered water. The grind should be a bit finer than French press but slightly coarser than what would be used for drip

Don't do that. For perfect coffee, bring water to boil and let rest about one minute, then pour the hot water over the freshly ground beans in the carafe. This produces a crema on top. I only use the microwave for heating the coffee cups. If you like BOILED coffee - by all means use the microwave - but NO purist would ever overheat the water or boil the coffee.

Although I prefer the french press, it can be done in a drip coffee maker. However, if you go that route, I would have to agree with Kierst. In a regular old coffee maker, it just seems to come out really weak to me. If you don't have a super fancy coffee maker and don't want to invest in one, maybe it would be a good idea to get a French press. They aren't very expensive.

Dump it in the bottom of pot and fill with water then set the top on and push. Great coffee and fun to make.

I personally boil the water and remove from the stove, and then just wait for the boiling to stop before I pour it into the Pot. This gives a nice cup of coffee that isn't bitter. I also recommend that you wet the center of the grounds first, then go in circles on the edges for the best results.

you do not plug this in; you fill with hot water to steep the coffee to make a French Press carafe of coffee

No. It is a French Press style coffee maker in which you boil water either on the stove or electric kettle and pour into the french press with your ground coffee beans. Give it around four minutes to allow "brewing" before slowly pressing the plunger down. Easy to use and it comes with instructions.

Bring the water to a boil then turn the heat off and pour hot water through the empty filter to rinse it and warm the flask. Dump the rinse water, add 20 g ground coffee to the filter and pour, stirring, until the coffee reaches the bottom of the "3 cup" engraving on the flask. This makes a perfect mug of coffee. The water should be initially between 190 and 200 F.

As it happens, I just boiled water for coffee using my bodium French press which is supposed to be an 8 cup/ Itook about 15 minutes. I am not sure exactly how many onces of water that is, but I should also say it is important not to overfill it. It will still work quickly,

Put the coffee in the pot with the water. Let it come to a boil and the bubbles rise to the top but NOT boil over. Gently remove it from the heat so that it goes back "down," bring back to boil like that two more times and let it sit for 1 1/2 minutes to let grounds settle. Pour out in equal amounts into cups a little at a time. If you had three cups, for example, filee eacj half way and then portion the rest out so each cup has equal foam. there a fantastic videos on YOUTUBE.

I also pour the boiled water in immediately. Many coffee guides recommend using 195-205 deg F water. However, unless you preheat your french press, I have found that the temperature of the water can easily drop by 10 deg F or more immediately after pouring it into the french press. Measure it if you have a thermometer.

Coffee actually steeps, rather than brews, in a push pot. Add the ground coffee, pour in boiling water and let steep for 4 or 5 minutes. Then stir and top off with hot water. Carefully put on the top and slowly push to the bottom. Pour and enjoy. Have owned many push pots over the past 35-40 years and this my favorite! This is one of the very best ways to make coffee and just has to be one of the best pots.

Well, I don't know about literally boiling, but I pour the water into the French press just off the boil. It then should steep for about 4 minutes before pouring into your cup. Believe me, it's still VERY hot at that point unless you like it hot enough to burn your mouth.

Put desired ground coffee into bottom of glass canister with press apparatus out. Pour desired amount of very hot water into canister. Then insert press apparatus and gently press it down until it gets to the bottom trapping the ground below and the filtered beverage above.I hate this device and no longer use it. There are no markings to guide how much water to add.
