French press - brewing guide

Brew Time: 4 minutes


 

PREPARATION

  • French Press

  • 30g coffee (coarse grind)

  • Grinder

  • Kettle

  • Scale

  • Timer

  • Spoon or stirrer

Order the coffee and equipment from Coffee Origins store.


 

BREW

  1. Bring water to a boil and allow to rest for 30 seconds.

  2. Grind 30g of coffee or weigh out 30g of coarsely ground coffee.

  3. Pre-heat your French press with the hot water. Discard.

  4. Place your French press on a scale, add coffee and tare.

  5. Start your timer. Slowly pour 100g of water onto the coffee grounds.

  6. Gently stir to evenly saturate the coffee grounds. Allow to bloom for 30 seconds. This will help achieve the most complexity out of your coffee.

  7. Pour 200g of water onto the grounds and place the lid on the press. Let your coffee steep until your timer reaches 4 minutes.

  8. At 4 minutes, slowly press the filter down and immediately decant your coffee. Allowing your coffee to sit in the press will extend your brew time, resulting in bitter tasting coffee.

Note: This recipe is for a single cup of coffee. For larger batches, use a 1:10 coffee-to-water ratio to calculate your recipe (Ex. 50g coffee and 500g water).
