Paleo French Press Coffee
There is something deeply satisfying about a cup of coffee made entirely from scratch, with nothing but freshly ground beans and clean water. This method is as stripped-back as it gets — no pods, no syrups, no additives — which makes it a natural fit for anyone eating whole, unprocessed foods. The bloom step, where hot water first hits the grounds and causes them to swell and release a light foam, is a small moment that signals you're about to drink something genuinely good. Coarsely ground beans and water just off the boil are the keys to a rich, full-bodied cup that doesn't turn bitter or muddy. Pouring immediately after pressing is the detail most people skip, but it's what keeps the flavor clean and bright rather than harsh. Two ingredients, one vessel, and a little patience — that's all it takes to make a morning ritual worth looking forward to.
