Method

Preparation

1

Measure and grind

Weigh 18 g of Lavazza coffee. If using whole beans, grind to the appropriate grind size: medium-fine for pour-over or drip (similar to table salt), coarse for French press (rough like sea salt).

2

Heat water

Heat 300 ml of filtered water in a kettle to about 92–96°C (197–205°F). If you don't have a thermometer, bring to a boil and let sit 30 seconds.

3

Rinse filter (if using paper)

If using a paper filter, place it in the cone and rinse with ~50 ml hot water to remove paper taste and preheat the brewer and mug. Discard rinse water.

Brewing (Pour-over / Drip method)

4

Add coffee to filter

Place the ground Lavazza coffee in the filter and level the bed lightly so grounds are evenly distributed.

5

Bloom

Start a timer. Pour 40–45 ml of hot water evenly over the grounds to saturate them. Let bloom for 30–45 seconds to release gases and improve extraction.

6

Continue pouring

After bloom, slowly pour the remaining water in a steady spiral or concentric motion, taking care not to pour directly on the filter paper. Aim to finish pouring by 2:30–3:00 minutes (total brew time ~3 minutes).

7

Drain and serve

Allow the coffee to finish dripping into the mug or carafe. Remove the filter and discard grounds. Serve immediately.

Brewing (French press alternative)

8

Add coffee to carafe

If using French press, add 18 g coarsely ground Lavazza to the press.

9

Add water and stir

Pour all 300 ml hot water over grounds, ensuring all grounds are saturated. Stir gently to ensure even extraction.

10

Steep

Place the lid with plunger up and let steep for 4 minutes. For a stronger cup, steep 4:30–5:00 minutes.

11

Plunge and serve

Press the plunger down steadily and immediately pour the coffee into a serving mug to avoid over-extraction.

Finishing & Optional Additions

12

Add milk or sweetener

If desired, add 60 ml warmed milk and 1 tsp sugar to taste. Stir gently. For a cappuccino-style drink, top with 30 ml frothed milk.

13

Taste and adjust

Taste the brewed Lavazza. If it tastes weak, increase coffee by 1–2 g next time or shorten grind slightly. If too strong or bitter, use a coarser grind or slightly less coffee.

14

Serve

Serve immediately while hot.
