Brewing Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Coffee
Measure 30 grams of coarsely ground coffee using a scale. This will provide a strong flavor that is characteristic of a French press.
- 2
Boil the Water
In a kettle, bring 500 ml of filtered water to a boil. Allow it to boil for about 30 seconds to ensure it reaches the right temperature (around 90-95°C) for brewing.
- 3
Combine Coffee and Water
In the French press, add the measured coffee grounds. Slowly pour the hot water over the coffee, ensuring all grounds are saturated. Stir gently with a spoon to mix.
- 4
Steep the Coffee
Place the lid on the French press with the plunger pulled up. Allow the coffee to steep for 4 minutes. This will extract the rich flavors from the coffee grounds.
- 5
Press the Plunger
After 4 minutes, slowly press down the plunger to separate the coffee grounds from the liquid. Apply even pressure to avoid splashing.
