French Press
Description
The French Press, a rustic ballad in coffee brewing, begins with coarsely ground beans steeped in hot water. A patient wait, a gentle press, and the immersion culminates in a brew that resonates with robust melodies. The full-bodied verses, liberated from filters, tell a tale of depth and warmth. The French Press, a poetic immersion in simplicity, delivers a rich, unfiltered narrative—a coffee symphony that echoes the heartiness of the process.
Ingredients
Steps
-
Heat Water
Bring water to 195-205°F (90-96°C). If you don't have a way to measure temperature, bring water to a boil and let it cool for about a minute to reach ideal temperature. -
Grind coffee
Grind coffee beans to a medium consistency, resembling beach sand.
-
Preheat the French Press
Rinse the French Press with the boiling water to bring it to temperature. This way, temperature shocks will not occur when the coffee starts brewing.
-
Add coffee
Add the desired amount of coffee into the French Press. The recommended ratio is 1:13 (coffee to water).
-
Pre-infusion
Pour water until topping the coffee (about 15% of total), stir and let it sit to pre-infuse for 30 seconds.
-
Pour remaining water
Pour the remaining water into the Chamber slowly. Place the lid and plunge until barely touching the water. Let it sit for 3 minutes.
-
Plunge, Serve and Enjoy
Plunge slowly so the coffee beans are not disturbed. Serve and enjoy!
Note
Tip: If you want a bolder brew, let it sit for more time. Also, if you have a scale, do weigh every step.
