How Much Coffee Do You Need For Your Press
Here’s a pro tip, if you want your cup of coffee to be perfect then you must choose the perfect variety of coffee and the right amount of hot water. I highly suggest Moving Beans an online site where you shop coffee of your choice, they offer tons of flavors and variety so if you’re still exploring what flavor satisfies your caffeine needs why don’t you check out their products.
Here’s the recommended ratio for brewing a perfect coffee using your French Press.
Three Cups
The ground coffee should be 17 grams, which is around two to three tablespoons and your water should be 275 ml for three cups.
Four Cups
For four cups of coffee, you will need 430 ml of water and 27 grams of the coffee of your choice which is four to five tablespoons.
Eight Cups
If you are in a gathering or meeting and you have to serve eight cups of coffee, then you will need 54 grams of the best tasting coffee from Java D’oro that is about eight to ten tablespoons, and 860 ml of water.
The general and best brew ratio for your French Press, the ratio of water and coffee that you will have to use, are between 1:15 and 1:17. So, 1 gram of coffee for every 15-17 ml of hot water.
A French press is an amazing coffee maker to use and it is highly suggested because it won’t soak up all the flavor of the coffee and it would add tiny bits of a coffee ground. Your coffee will taste even better because the French press steeps the ground coffee instead of filtering it which adds more flavor. You’ll have all the tasty ingredients in the cup.
