- 1. Oklahoma Coffee Roasters – Brewing Techniques With all the fancy alternative methods of making coffee floating around, a once simple beverage has become slightly overwhelming. It does not help that a new breed of hipster coffee snobs have emerged, touting the terror of their cold brewed coffee or complicated espresso concoctions. The time has come to get back to the simplicity that made us fall in love with coffee in the first place. Maybe the method does not need to be changed and upgraded. A closer look at the details of the tried and true will elevate your favorite brew to new heights. The French press method of brewing coffee is a classic for a reason. Perfecting its nuances will lead to a superlative cup of warm, roasted goodness, as long as you pay attention. A little mindfulness is not too much to ask, even before that first cup. It is all about quality ingredients and precision. To start, make sure you have all of your equipment: a clean French press, a kettle/microwave, measuring spoons, a stirring spoon, a coffee grinder, and of course your mug. Next come the ingredients. Use the best quality water to which you have access - it's important. Your coffee beans should be kept in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Grinding the beans just before brewing is critical to freshness. A medium grind is best for the French press. Too fine and you will get some grainy residue, too coarse and you will not get the maximum flavor. The golden ratio is 2 tablespoons grounds to 6 oz of water. A pinch of kosher salt is a classy move to deepen the flavor and take the bitter edge off. As for the methodology, it could not be simpler. Heat water to a boil. Grind beans. Add beans to the French press with a pinch of salt. Stir some of the water into the grounds to eliminate dry pockets, and then pour in the remaining water. Place the plunger on top and set your timer to 4 minutes. Take thirty seconds to plunge your coffee and ensure a proper emulsion; portion into your cup.
