1
Boil Water
Start by boiling 32 cups of water in a kettle or on the stove until it reaches a rolling boil.
2
Measure Coffee Grounds
Measure out 2 cups of Huckleberry Roasters coffee beans. If using whole beans, grind them to a coarse consistency suitable for French press brewing.
3
Combine Coffee and Water
Once the water has boiled, let it cool for about 30 seconds to a minute to reach the ideal brewing temperature (around 200°F). Add the coffee grounds to the French press.
4
Add Water
Pour the hot water over the coffee grounds in the French press, ensuring all grounds are saturated. Stir gently with a spoon to mix.
5
Steep
Place the lid on the French press with the plunger pulled up. Let the coffee steep for 4 minutes.
6
Press and Serve
After 4 minutes, slowly press down the plunger to separate the grounds from the brewed coffee. Pour the coffee into cups and enjoy.

7
Boil Water
Begin by boiling 32 cups of water in a kettle or on the stove until it reaches a rolling boil.
8
Measure Looseleaf Tea
Measure out 1 cup of looseleaf tea. You can choose your preferred type such as black, green, or herbal.
9
Combine Tea and Water
Once the water has boiled, allow it to cool for a minute before pouring over the looseleaf tea in the French press. This helps prevent bitterness.
10
Steep
Place the lid on the French press with the plunger pulled up. Allow the tea to steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on your taste preference.
11
Press and Serve
After the steeping time, slowly press down the plunger to separate the tea leaves from the brew. Pour into cups and serve hot.
