PREP

 

1. Its important to warm up your empty French Press by rinsing it with very hot water. This helps maintain the temperature while brewing for best extraction.

​

2. Weigh out your coffee (see above table) and grind if required to a medium grind setting (similar to granulated sugar).

​

3. Put the ground coffee in the french press, place on the scales and then zero the scales.

 

BREW

 

1. Make sure your water is hot (96-99°C), this will be just off the boil. 

​

2. Start a timer for 6 minutes and pour your required amount of hot water over the coffee, making sure all the coffee is saturated. 

​

3. After 4 minutes, stir the crust of coffee grinds floating on the top. This will cause these grounds to drop towards the bottom of the French Press.

​

4. Place the lid on loosely but do not press the plunger down yet.

 

PLUNGE

 

1. When the timer shows 6 minutes, take the French Press off the scales if it’s not already. Then press the plunger about 60% of the way down. We don't want to disturb the silty coffee at the bottom of the pot.

​

2. Serve it up! Immediately pour the coffee into a cup or serving vessel and enjoy.
