How to use a French Press by Cate

[twoputtty]

Very nice, I hate coffee but like the girl in the video.......Paula Dean?

[jobfromdayone]

Thank you. I didn't really know what it was or how to use it so I bought a $400 machine on Craigslist. Luckily, I only paid $50. I probably could've bought this for $10.

[caneywaney]

ok, first thing, You're cute.

Second, buy whole bean and grind as you need it. You will taste the difference

Third, let the water sit for no more than 5 minutes (less for smaller ammounts of water) to bring it to about 200. That straight from boil to grinds method over-amplifies the taste.

use coffee in place of water in a chocolate cake recipe once. You'll be blown away. More moist and flavorful

Ask Kyle if I can bone Cate.

[couponclippingclaire]

Thank you for this info. I recently decided to get one and didn't know how to use it. A big help, thanks

[geminiinthesky859]

Aw, what a nice sister you are. I was contemplating buying a French press since I don't want to invest in a bulky coffee maker that uses paper filters, but didn't really know how to use one. Totally easy to use. Thanks for the video!

I always wear my cocktail ring while making coffee.

Love the video, wanted to mention the importance of filtered water and fresh ground coffee (burr grinder). Other than that and the things TookDk mentioned I really enjoyed your style and video! cheers.

[chellycheekzz]

Thank you for your help!

[Partyrocker07]

um if u add the water right away (while it is still boiling) u only burn ur coffee. its best to wait like twenty to thirty seconds then add the water

[Keybearofflame]

Good video and that is nice of you to make your sis a fresh cup of java. :)

[wastetimevid]

Thank you! I'm in the same boat as johnnyzing, except for sugar. I just don't use it.

[TheAstrofighter]

sexy girl.



[johnnyzing]

Cute gal doing a nice simple video on the french press. I'm house sitting and saw this gizmo on the table. I said: Say what?

So I of course went to youtube and voila! I now know what it is! Youtube University is so helpful. BTW sorry she uses sugar. White death indeed. Try Stevia or maple syrup or Agave....just read the book Sugar Blues. You'll never use sugar again if you care about your body.

I love the way you presented this video, heated up the milk, and recycled/fertilized the coffee/tree. Also, it sounds like your sister is retarted, and demanding. She wants this, she wants that!

[TookDk]

1. Please dont burn the coffe with boiling water, let the hot water cool for 30-45 sec. 2. Stir the mix of water and coffe gentle with a wooden spoon before pressing.

3. Wait 3-4 min before pressing.

[CoffeeCupNews]

@TookDk great additional points that I was going to add. :)

[anthonysitalianfood]

Thanks, this was great! My beloved peculator died and I had an old French press laying around and I totally forgot how to use it. This was a nice quick and easy lesson. :-) Now digging out the French Press...

[ralphmesa]

I wish you could pour me a cup of coffee in the morning, your hotterthan the coffee!

[DroolTV]

So adorable

[xcracer2]

if you're a coffee fanatic, don't buy starbucks.

[etgon]

at 0:07, i think you should put your own or an intro there .

[fishbonealice]

Something I'd love to know: why do so many americans faff about with pans etc on stovetops when an electric kettle (which EVERYONE here in Ireland uses) will boil the exact amount of water you need in seconds, with no hassle?

[n8sk8ing]

I think your sister sounds like a @#$%^&

[scratchbird]

Awesome video, but your sister sounds like a jerk! lol, j/k

[realinohio]

Thanks for the advice We got a French press and it was just sitting there until I saw your video

[GerryJMTL]

Nice video but a few suggestions. Let the water sit for about 30 seconds after boiling so you don't burn the coffee. Stir the coffee to get a nice foam top before plunging. And always hold onto the handle when plunging so you don't tip the beaker.

[avalher]

Never pour boiling water into the cafetiere, it burns the coffee. Wait about a minute or so after your water boils, then pour in.

No way, smelly grounds keep aphids off brassica family plants like cabbage!

[azriel562]

Never let the water boil to make any kind coffee

[fernandolr217]

I wish you were my sister.

[kingdomofwitches]

what age is ur sister .if she is less than 26 i am in

[johnowensjr1234]

yeah id fuck her on that table

[HigherPlanes]

@johnowensjr1234 I bet she would throw a hot cup of coffee in your face lol.

[johnowensjr1234]

maybe not haha

[mjphoto45]

Need to stir the grounds. She is cute though!

[srankin81]

Thanks Cate!!!

[djtas1200]

I LOVE the coffee mug...GO HOOSIERS!

[Letharius]

Excellent video. :) I am soo getting a french press soon. Thank you for sharing this with everyone.

[MurkTownUSA]

Thanks for the video

[slimydick23]

Cate is very beautiful to look at. The sound of her voice is also pleasant. So much so that I forgave her when she poured water in that coffee that is at least 20 degrees too hot. Your water should not be hotter than 195 degrees. That means tiny bubbles simmering, not a rolling boil.

[starcity11]

i like the way you explained the whole tutorial. keep it up.

[ediblered]

thank you for your video! my friend and i were making coffee today from a french press and we didn't know how to use it! lol! I was like "I best we could find a how to video on youtube". our theory on how to use it was way off... you were my morning savior... I needed coffe real bad. 5 stars for you!!!

[tselmorrah]

This was a very helpful video - I like the idea of heating the cream. I'm told it also helps to rinse the french press and the mug with hot tap water.

By the way, if you freeze the grounds before you throw them out in the garden, it gets rid of the smell, which can be pretty gross.

Wrap the bottom of the press with a small coffee filter and viola no grinds.

[klarinetta]

@PLongfellow Then why not just use the clever dripper(with stopper so it can steep for as long as you want) ?

[catemc7]

Thank you, that is such a great compliment! I will work on the other question you had! look for a video soon!
