2.2. French Press
- Add 1-2 tablespoons of ground coffee per 6 ounces of hot (not boiling) water to the French press.
- Pour hot water over the grounds, ensuring they are fully saturated.

3. Storage and Maintenance
Proper storage is crucial to maintain the freshness and flavor of your Tchibo Exclusive Original Ground Coffee.
- Unopened Packs: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The vacuum seal helps preserve freshness.
- Opened Packs: Once a pack is opened, transfer the remaining coffee to an airtight container. Store in a cool, dark place. Avoid refrigeration as it can introduce moisture and odors.
- Optimal Consumption: For the best taste experience, consume the coffee within two weeks of opening the vacuum pack.
4. Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Coffee tastes weak | Too little coffee, too much water, or water not hot enough. | Increase coffee-to-water ratio, ensure water is at optimal brewing temperature (195-205°F / 90-96°C). |
| Coffee tastes bitter | Over-extraction (too long brewing time), water too hot, or too much coffee. | Reduce brewing time, use slightly cooler water, or decrease coffee-to-water ratio. |
| Coffee tastes stale | Improper storage after opening. | Ensure coffee is stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Consume promptly after opening. |
