Ingredients

2 tablespoons coarse-ground French roast coffee for every 3/4 cup hot water used
Hot milk, preferably 2 percent, as needed
Equipment: French coffee press and a hand-pump milk frother

Directions

Remove the plunger from the coffee press and put the coffee in the bottom. Pour in the water, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top and stir with a small wooden spoon. Rest the plunger on top of the glass pot and let the coffee steep for about 4 to 6 minutes.

Meanwhile, pour the hot milk into the frother, insert the plunger, and pump until the milk is frothy.

Using slight pressure, slowly push the plunger down on the coffee press. Divide the coffee among cups and spoon over the frothed milk. Serve immediately.

it is strange that you are being paid to publish the directions that come with the french press and milk fluffer when... purchased. at least be different and "throw in" something.Read more

Coffee Perfection!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

In all seriousness, after preparing coffee this way, I don't think I'll ever spend another dime at Starbucks. Coffee prepared... in a French press is smooth and full of flavor -- much better than anything I've ever had prepared by a barista. The frothed milk is a nice touch and provides a rich & creamy start to my day. Wonderful.Read more

I have a French coffee press, and didn't have any instructions on how to use it. These insructions are very clear, from... brewing time to grind of coffee.Read more
