Okay, here's information on using a French press, formatted in Markdown with links to a hypothetical "wikiwhat.page" site:

Using a French Press

The French press, also known as a cafetière, is a simple and effective method for brewing rich, full-bodied coffee. Here's a guide on how to use one:

1. Heat Water: Heat water to just off the boil (around 200°F or 93°C). Avoid boiling water, as it can scorch the coffee grounds and result in a bitter taste. Use a thermometer for accuracy or let boiling water sit for a minute.

2. Grind Coffee: Use a coarse grind, similar to the texture of sea salt. A fine grind will result in sediment in your coffee. A burr%20grinder is recommended for a consistent grind.

3. Add Coffee to the Press: The general ratio is 1-2 tablespoons of ground coffee per 6 ounces (177ml) of water. Adjust to your taste. More coffee equals stronger brew. Put the grounds into the french%20press%20carafe.

4. Bloom the Coffee: Pour a small amount of the hot water (about twice the amount of coffee) over the grounds, saturating them evenly. Let it sit for 30 seconds. This process, called "blooming," releases trapped gases and enhances flavor.

5. Pour Remaining Water: Slowly pour the remaining hot water over the saturated grounds, filling the french%20press to the desired level.

6. Steep: Place the lid on the French press (without pressing down the plunger) and let the coffee steep for 4 minutes. Steeping%20time is important for proper extraction.

7. Press: Slowly and gently press the plunger down, separating the coffee grounds from the brewed coffee. Avoid pressing too hard, as this can force sediment through the filter.

8. Serve Immediately: Pour the coffee immediately into cups or a preheated%20carafe to prevent over-extraction, which can lead to bitter coffee. Do not let coffee sit in the french press after pressing.

9. Clean the French Press: After use, discard the coffee grounds and thoroughly clean the French press with soap and water. Disassemble the french%20press%20components for a more thorough clean and remove the build up in the mesh filter.

Enjoy your coffee!
