French Press Coffee Manual. A coffee press, sometimes called a french press or plunger pot, is often hailed by coffee enthusiasts as the best method for brewing coffee. Place 2 tablespoons of coarse ground coffee at bottom of the french press. To make really great french press coffee you need to use a really awesome grinder that will set you back at least $100 or more but stepping up from a $10 blade grinder to at least a $30 burr. Sediment in french press coffee serves a purpose, but it tends to get on our nerves.
