Is the plunger for a French Press suppose to press on the coffee grounds?
I ask this question because my brother has a Chambard Bodum French Press and the instructions say to add ~3 Tbsp of coffee grounds, but when you press on the plunger, it does not reach all the way to the coffee grounds. Is the purpose of the plunger just to lower the filter so that it can be easily poured out (I’ve tried it without pressing it, it’s slightly harder because the grounds get in the way) or is it suppose to press on the coffee grounds to extract every bit of flavor? I heard it can get bitter if brewed for too long or if not drank immediately.
yes, it’s to press the grounds down, sometimes they are quite hard to press when they are new.
