You don't need an expensive setup to brew great coffee. The french press is simple, affordable, and when used correctly, capable of producing a genuinely great cup.
The Recipe

| Brew time | 4 minutes |
Steps

The Most Common Mistake
Leaving coffee in the press after plunging. Once you push down, pour it out. It keeps extracting and turns bitter fast.
