Start by washing the French press and filter while boiling fresh water in a pot that you'll use to make your coffee, taking care to boil only fresh water (virgin water, so to speak). When the boiling point is reached, pour in the coffee grounds: one tablespoon per person, six tablespoons for a liter of water, but slightly less if you're making it for just one. It's now time to stir with your wooden spoon - aim for a gentle mix, just enough to 'wet the grounds'. Pour into the filter and don't stir again unless you want to taste the sediment in your coffee. Wash the cups and serve immediately, without forgetting the basic rules: one, never offer reheated coffee, the nemesis, and two, whoever puts sugar in their coffee is the one who will stir the spoon.
