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
  • Water
  • Medium ground Coffee
Steps
  1. Heat WaterBring 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.
  2. Grind coffee

    Grind coffee beans to a medium consistency, resembling beach sand.

  3. 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.

  4. Add coffee

    Add the desired amount of coffee into the French Press. The recommended ratio is 1:13 (coffee to water).

  5. Pre-infusion

    Pour water until topping the coffee (about 15% of total), stir and let it sit to pre-infuse for 30 seconds.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.
