COFFEE & TEA

Method

COFFEE & TEA

  1. 1

    Rinse the empty French press with hot water to preheat and stabilize the temperature, then add the 6 tablespoons of coarsely ground coffee to the carafe.

  2. 2

    Pour 2 cups of hot water just off the boil over the coffee grounds to saturate them evenly; ensure all grounds are moistened.

  3. 3

    Gently stir the coffee-water mixture with a wooden or plastic spoon to promote even extraction.

  4. 4

    Place the plunger on top and let the coffee steep for about 4 minutes without pressing.

  5. 5

    Slowly press the plunger straight down to separate the grounds from the brewed coffee.

  6. 6

    Pour the coffee into cups and enjoy immediately. If desired, add milk or sugar to taste.
