The first thing you need to do is heat the water for the press using either an electric kettle or a stovetop pot. We recommend heating just a bit more than the 50 oz you need for the brew - this is to ensure that you can heat the press first.
Once the water heats up, pour the excess water into the press, swirl it around for a bit, and dispose of the water. By doing this you are ensuring that your brew stays at its optimal temperature level for a much longer time.
Now, add your coffee grounds into the press. For a full 12-cup press you can use about 12 to 14 tablespoons of coffee grounds. If you do not prefer that bold flavor, you can add less but your brew might taste a bit watery.
Pour the 50 oz of hot water over the grounds.
Assemble the coffee plunger and place it in its position atop the press. Push the plunger down so that the filter sits just above the water level.
Let the coffee steep in the press for 4 minutes and then press the plunger all the way down.
