Ingredients
Scale
- 2/3 cups coffee beans (ground (about 9 tablespoons ground coffee))
- 3 cups filtered water at room temperature
Optional Additions:
- maple syrup
- milk or cream (non-dairy milk works great too!)
Instructions
- In a 4 or 8-cup French press add ground coffee beans and water. Stir the coffee and water together until well mixed.
- Place the French press plunger on top (but don’t press it down) and refrigerate for 12 hours. If you like a stronger taste you can experiment with letting the coffee brew for up to 24 hours.
- Slowly press the plunger down to push all the coffee grounds to the bottom.
- Use immediately or pour cold press into a covered container and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Notes
We recommend using organic ingredients when possible.
I try to stir up the grounds into the water at least one additional time after putting the French press in the refrigerator.
If you like your coffee on the not-so-strong side, cut back the amount of coffee by as much as half.
