☕️ How to Brew Expedition Grounds Coffee with a French Press

Bold. Rich. No filter (literally). French press is a trail-tested favorite at Expedition Grounds.

What You’ll Need:

• French press (8-cup / 1L recommended)

• Freshly ground Expedition Grounds coffee (coarse grind)

• Hot water (just off the boil, ~200°F)

• Timer

• Wooden spoon or stir stick

Step-by-Step:

1. Scoop it – Use 2 tablespoons (10g) of coffee per 6 oz of water. For a full press: 8 tablespoons (40g).

2. Bloom it – Add just enough water to wet the grounds. Wait 30 seconds. You’ll see bubbles—that’s flavor waking up.

3. Fill it – Slowly pour the rest of your water in a circular motion.

4. Stir it – Gently stir once to break the top crust.

5. Steep it – Set a timer for 4 minutes and resist the urge to peek.

6. Press it – Press the plunger down slowly and evenly.

7. Pour it – Serve immediately and toast to the journey.

Pro Tip: If it tastes bitter, your grind may be too fine. If it’s watery, go a little finer next time.
