    Steep, surely? Simmering for 20mins would ANNIHILATE much of the flavor.

      Coffee grinded for French press is really big, it needs a lot of time to extract the flavors, and after 20 minutes the temperature is just right.

        Simmering means you’re probably putting it on a stove top trying to keep it just below boiling temp for 20 minutes.

        Is that what you’re really doing? Or are you steeping?

          Oh thank you. English is not my first language, sometimes make errors like that.

          What I mean is that I put the coffee on the press, put the boiling water and let it there for 20 minutes.
