Heating the Water

Heating the water to make your french press coffee is a pretty simple process. You just need to get the right amount of water to a boil. Once boiling, take the water off of the heat and let sit for about 45 seconds to cool down just slightly. This will prevent the coffee from getting burnt when you pour in the water. Then you’re good to go.

Here are a few of the best ways to heat up your water:
