　Do you drink black coffee? Coffee is a favorite beverage consumed all over the world. There are various theories about the origin of coffee. Coffee was introduced to Japan in the Edo period, and it is said that it was first brought to Dejima in Nagasaki. Even if you didn't like coffee when you were a child, now that you're in college, you might find it appealing if you try it.

　My morning starts with coffee. Because coffee contains caffeine. If I drink it in the morning, I will be able to work without feeling sleepy. The reason I fell in love with coffee is because my part-time job is at a coffee store. There I learned different coffee brewing methods. Among them, I especially like it, and I will introduce how to make press coffee that you can enjoy easily even by yourself. 

 

How to make press coffee 

1. First, boil 500ml of water. You can't boil all the water you need here. You will use the rest in another step.

 

2. Second, add the water boiled in part 1 to mug and press coffee maker. You can make coffee at the right temperature for brewing by doing this.

 

3. Third, weight out 10 grams of your favorite coffee beans and grind it. Pressed coffee requires the beans to be finely ground. 

4. Next, boil the remaining 500ml of water. You don't use this water immediately after boiling it. The temperature suitable for brewing coffee is 96°C~98℃, so wait about 10 or 15 seconds after boiling.

 

5. After that, pour the boiling water into the press coffee maker containing the ground coffee beans from part 3. Do not pour all the boiled water, but add hot water until the lid of the coffee maker closes. You need to mix the contents of the coffee maker with a spoon about three times.

 

6. Next, close the lid of the press coffee maker and wait 4 minutes. You just need to close the lid and do not press yet. 

 

7. Next, after 4 minutes discard the first sip from the coffee maker. However, if you like the oil content of coffee beans, you can leave it as it is. 

8. Next, slowly push down on the press part of the coffee maker. You must be careful with this task as hot water can spill out.

 

9. Last, throw away the hot water in the mug and slowly pour the coffee into it from the coffee maker. You need to hold down the lid of the coffee maker while pouring.  

 

Final thoughts 

　Pressed coffee can be made even in small amounts, so it is also recommended for people living alone. If you don't have a coffee grinder at home, take it to a coffee shop and they will grind the beans for press coffee. In addition, there are many types of coffee beans. Pressed coffee is an extraction method suitable for any beans, so please enjoy using your favorite beans. Furthermore, if you don't like bitter coffee, add whipped cream to make it smoother and easier to drink.

　Even people who have never had coffee will fall in love with it once they discover its charm. Follow the steps we introduced and enjoy a delicious cup of coffee. In addition, if you find your favorite coffee beans, please share them.
