SELF INFLICTED CAFFEINE BINGE - French Press Coffee TIY

hello I'm Tyler and welcome to today's episode of TI y and today we're making French press coffee I promise that we'll use that drill at some point but now today we're making French press coffee here's the French press it's right here so we're gonna be using this not the drink okay so the reason why I want to make a French press coffee is not just because I haven't made it before it's because I'm a pretty big coffee addict in fact I could probably use a coffee right now on a day-to-day basis I get about two cups of coffee now if you get all of those coffees at coffee shops you end up spending a lot of money now for your like basic coffee that you might get it like a Dunkin Donuts a Starbucks a coffee bean I've got it covered I make my own quick brew coffee it's not much for taste but when it comes to caffeine it's basically like jet fuel so it does the trick most of the time I don't just get coffee for the caffeine now I I definitely love the caffeine but I also do like the flavor of coffee I want to go to a place that has more sorta like premium flavored brewed coffee I have to go to some of these more expensive baristas or coffee shops and we go to those kinds of places especially Los Angeles they can charge up to five dollars for a cup of coffee and that's a lot of money not to mention if you ever get hungry in these kinds of places they do have things like scones and blueberry muffins but those also tend to cost about five dollars too so just to get a little bit more flavor you go to one of these places and you end up getting a $5 coffee a $5 scone you're spending like $10 just for a little bit more flavor it's what I want to do is be able to create my own premium flavor coffee if I ever want it at home what I've heard is that if you want more flavor out of your coffee you need to use a French press French presses use pressure to actually push more gasses out of the coffee which then makes it more flavorful also I've heard a lot of these places use French presses so we'll see if I can do it too if I could recreate that flavor at home I could save a ton of money and also get sort of my fix of coffee whether it be jet fuel coffee or more flavorful coffee so I did the best way to test to see if I can make a cup of coffee as good as one of these premium coffee shops would be to do a blind taste test with Sofia so I'm going to do is go to a coffee shop and get one of those cups of coffee and then way to use the French press to make my own put them both front of Sofia and see if she can guess which one came from the coffee that would be a good test okay let's get started to brew the coffee I'm gonna need coffee beans that are not yet ground a coffee grinder to grind that's a scale to weigh them a thermometer a measuring cup and of course just kidding a French press I held off and having my second cup of coffee for this so that I could make my second cup of coffee I usually have two and I didn't have it and so I'm going a little delirious right now but I'm excited the internet told me that it only takes four minutes and thirty seconds for this to brew and the Internet is never wrong mmm four minutes and 30 seconds theoretically although this is the first time I've ever done this I'm gonna have a fresh cup of coffee out of this [Music] and move of not having a second coffee I've been eating these which are these mmm candy bar things that I made last week they're rock-hard really not going warm but the full of sugar they're firing me up I start by boiling water and while the water cheating up I'm gonna get the coffee grounds ready I'm gonna measure out 17 grams over on our scale and I'm like grind them up again I've never used this grinder before it seems pretty intuitive we're all a little bit of a timer because when the water starts boiling where I turn it off where I let it cool to 205 and we're gonna have to keep on moving apparently a lot of this French press stuff is about the timing it's about the temperatures about exact measurements I open this guy okay so here I screwed up you can't even see the weight on the scale one first pour i pinky swear is 17 grams the first time first pour that was like the water bottle that plastic water bottle flipping challenge of coffee grind pouring that's a thing that's not a thing but it could be a thing if it was a thing that'd be the first example of it got the coffee grounds we're gonna grind them up grind them up [Music] look at this and we got ground coffee with the beans ground and the water boiled it's time to start French pressing now that the water is boiling we're going to turn off the stove we're gonna let it sit for a second and they're gonna use it actually to rinse out the French press I just like doing that I want to put a quarter of the water in yeah so now that this is rinsed out I'm gonna be putting the coffee grinds in on the bottom spread them out evenly but once that's ready I'm gonna start pouring the hot water into the French press the coffee is in the French press now we're gonna put a little bit of the hot water in it's called the bloom apparently and it's going to start with ah I caught it oh my god that would've been a disaster [Music] it smells incredible once this is sat for 30 seconds I take a spoon and I break up the crust at the top let's do it once I've done that I pour the remaining water in I place the lid on the French press and I let it sit for three and a half minutes the French press has a plunger up when I push that down that should fill to the ground of coffee and then we'll have our French press coffee or just our coffee we just call it coffee it smells good to be honest the aroma is that are coming off of it look great I'm trying to get really cool shots of it while filming so we'll see pet got in the way of the flavor I need it actually I am totally crashing I was gonna eat some these chocolate chips to try to hold me over what have it a bad idea almost there Oh coffee is brewing looks good man okay here's the moment of truth it's been three nine minutes we're gonna press this down gently nice okay so I did not make enough their measurements weren't that their measurements weren't right but I definitely made coffee see this taste okay you guys like my power rangers mug I loved Power Rangers growing up man Tommy the Red Power Ranger was Tommy the green power ranger top a little bitter tastes really good though that's good coffee [Music] here sob what's up hey baby hi I'll just make my coffee so late to drinking coffee I need Slade to be drinking yeah I gotta make you do a blind taste test of it though okay sorry so no good night you can't have it yet okay all right guys maybe it's a little bit bitter just because I let it sit for a second this tastes way better though than any of the things I've made before French press man and finally sauce taste test I'm doing that thing where you put your boobs on the table okay so I made Sofia her French press coffee okay and you're gonna taste test them and see which one is done by the fancy barista or Tyler your boyfriend well I think you were the fancy breeze fancy barista Tyler or the not so fancy breeze - at the fancy place yeah we want her to choose me but she doesn't actually know which one bigs know I feel I taste up to the lime taste nice so here we go ready you don't have to swirl them around cuz I already don't know that's perfect no okay because I want make sure that they know that there's integrity to this okay you know so how it comes there will be these ginger slices and a cup of water in case you need to rinse and spin no French press me such a bad flavor combo it's been fun no I'm she's French it's like orange juice into it's gonna be good don't about it so basically though French press is when you have that French press thing and when you make it it releases extra gasses from the coffee that bring more flavor to it that sounds like me George what does gas plus coffee they didn't think about that right they're like here's why it's great there's more gasses in the coffee you're like um I got enough of those yeah okay uh cooped up you smell them yeah well I'll let you do your own is that what the people do I guess anything they can switch they spit it out or something I'm going for this one first yes it's a little warmer okay hey um Jason this is pretty good pretty good it's like um little watery but like not too bitter you just do the Spongebob thing you're you all right well don't say whether it's mine and I say you try both no AMI okay okay I'm gonna I'm now I'm gonna cleanse my palate with some ginger this is gonna rub nervous this is gonna ruin this second I'm nervous guys I'm nervous I don't know a French press you know what it looks like where is it it's right here this is the French press hmm cool right candy damping candied ginger plus candied ginger plus coffee tastes like soap really yeah I mean so she's like come on everyone knows it so taste like anyone yeah oh cool go come on maybe it is [Music] yeah yeah which one do you think is from a barista I don't know which one is it that's fine okay I'll pick yeah okay okay yeah I like that one so even though it's not gonna greasy like it more Wow okay here's that I'm the barista this is confusing because this one was colder so I would assume that you had to go get this one and then you made this one at home trickery but in fact you made it first and then left to go get it that didn't plan it out at all I'm sorry no I don't apologize to me I just think it said money for it was money it's good right this was actually really good I don't know maybe it's just the ginger no I'm just kidding okay so the taste was obviously patting her boob it's very good Lou so I was gonna guess which one came for the barista would end up being which one she liked more and she liked mine more yeah oh sorry I was I supposed to pick guess I guess I don't really make it very clear yeah I just wanna do black please I thought you were trying to try and tell me which one's better we ended up in the same place that's good you happy I'm happy oh yeah I am really nice cup of coffee if you were happy I job like an evening cup of coffee it's so early enough for a cup of coffee cool I know how to make a French press and it's good it's good it's worth it so thanks for watching
