The OXO Brew 8-Cup French Press with GroundsLifter makes brewing the perfect cup of coffee a pleasure. Even cleanup is better, thanks to the innovative GroundsLifter. Just lift the handle and the stainless steel and silicone GroundsLifter acts like a squeegee, clearing out used grounds in one move – no digging or dealing with wet, clumpy grounds required. The fine mesh stainless steel filter keeps stray grounds out of your brew, while the soft, non-slip handle is designed for comfort while pouring. Stainless steel housing protects and insulates the borosilicate glass carafe. Hand wash only.

We’ve long loved the French Press as the easiest avenue to specialty brewing at home. Its method of brewing, unfiltered immersion, leaves an oily and slightly grainy texture in the cup. Many love that aspect of French Press brewing and don’t drink coffee any other way.

To brew, we’d suggest the following:

• Grind 65 grams of coffee medium (not too coarse!)
• Add 450g filtered water just off the boil
• Give the grounds and water a slight stir to make sure all the grounds are saturated
• Add another 450g water just off the boil (that’s 900g total!)
• Place the lid on the press without plunging
• Wait 4 minutes
• Remove lid and stir the crust of grounds at the top, sinking all of them.
• Wait another 4-10 minutes
• Gently plunge and decant.
• Enjoy!
