French Press

The French press is a classic brewing method that produces a rich, full-bodied cup of coffee.

Equipment:

• French press pot

• Coarse ground coffee

• Filtered water

  Method:

1. Grind: Use a coarse grind, similar to sea salt.

2. Heat Water: Heat filtered water to just off the boil (around 195-205°F or 90-96°C).

3. Add Grounds: Add the desired amount of ground coffee to the French press pot. A general

   ratio is 2 tablespoons of coffee for every 8 ounces of water.

4. Bloom: Pour a small amount of hot water over the grounds to wet them evenly. Let it bloom

   for 30-45 seconds.

5. Add Water: Pour the remaining hot water into the pot.

6. Steep: Stir gently and let the coffee steep for 4 minutes.

7. Press: Slowly press the plunger down, separating the coffee grounds from the brewed

   coffee.

8. Pour and Enjoy: Pour the coffee into your mug and savor the rich, flavourful brew.
