The French press is an immersion device where water is constantly saturated with coffee, which means it takes longer to fully extract coffee from the bean (this article geeks out on the science). Lean towards using more coffee than expected with a French press (our graphic rounds up a little). Input your brewing volume (in fluid ounces) and the coffee-to-water ratio (just the water ratio) to find the necessary ground coffee: You can also use our calculator to find how much coffee you need. I recommend this scale, which has a good backlight and a timer. A scale will measure coffee far more accurately than tablespoons, measuring cups, and (worst of all) scoops. I strongly recommend using a scale to measure water and coffee for a French press. Here is a table showing the coffee needed for different sizes and strengths. Most French presses are 32 oz, which means 12 Tbsp of ground coffee at regular strength. In standard kitchen measurements, a large mug of coffee (16 oz of water) requires 6 Tbsp of ground coffee for a 1:15 ratio, 8 Tbsp for a strong 1:12 ratio, and 5 Tbsp for a weak 1:17 ratio. These ratios are based on weight and are measured in grams. The French Press coffee ratio can range from 1:12 for a strong cup of coffee to a 1:17 ratio for a weaker cup. I recommend using a French Press coffee-to-water ratio of 1:15. Let’s start with the most important part: measuring the right amount of coffee for a French press.
To get the perfect French press coffee, you’ll need to measure the right amount of coffee, use a burr grinder, and a timer. I’ve been making French press coffee for over a decade and have gone through hundreds (maybe a thousand) of batches to get rich flavor with few grounds in the cup. It’s a simple process, but requires the right French press coffee ratio, grind size, and brew time for the best taste. The French press brews excellent coffee with bold and rich flavor.
