How to Use
Select the grind size you bought and follow the steps below to brew it right.
French Press
Full-bodied and rich, brewed by steeping coarse grounds directly in hot water.
4 min
- 1Add 1 heaped tbsp of coarse-ground coffee per 200 ml of water to the French press.
- 2Pour hot water (just off the boil, ~95°C) over the grounds and stir gently.
- 3Place the lid on with the plunger pulled up, and let it steep for 4 minutes.
- 4Press the plunger down slowly and evenly.
- 5Pour and serve immediately - coffee left on the grounds keeps brewing and turns bitter.
Tips
- • Grounds that are too fine will clog the mesh filter - stick to a coarse, sea-salt-like grind.
- • Rinse the plunger and mesh filter right after brewing so oils don't build up and turn rancid.
