You will need

  • French Press
  • 30 grams of coffee, coarsely ground
  • Grinder
  • Kettle
  • Scale
  • Timer
  • Spoon or Stirrer

 

Method 

Brew Time: 4 Minutes

Ratio: 1:10

        1. Bring water to a boil and allow to rest for 30 seconds.
        2. Grind 30 grams of coffee or weigh out 30 grams of coarsely ground coffee. 
        3. Pre-heat your French press with the hot water. Discard.
        4. Place your French press on a scale, add coffee and tare.
        5. Start your timer. Slowly pour 100 mL of water onto the coffee grounds.
        6. Gently stir to evenly saturate the coffee grounds. Allow to bloom for 30 seconds. This will help achieve the most complexity out of your coffee.
        7. Pour 200 mL of water onto the grounds and place the lid on the press. Let your coffee steep until your timer reaches 4 minutes.
        8. At 4 minutes, slowly press the filter down and immediately decant your coffee. Allowing your coffee to sit in the press will extend your brew time, resulting in bitter tasting coffee.
