Ingredients:
- 30 grams (2 Tablespoons) Freshly roasted Whole Bean Coffee (Coarse Grind)
- 355 ml (12 fluid ounces) Filtered Water
Instructions:
- Heat filtered water to approximately 200°F (93°C). If you lack a thermometer, allow the kettle to sit for 45 seconds after boiling.
- Measure the coffee beans and grind them immediately before brewing to a Coarse and Uniform consistency, similar to coarse sea salt.
- Pre-heat the French press carafe by swirling a small amount of hot water inside, then discard the water.
- Pour the freshly ground coffee into the bottom of the warmed carafe.
- Start a timer. Pour just enough hot water (about double the weight of the coffee) evenly over the grounds to saturate them fully. Wait 30 seconds for the coffee to 'bloom'.
- Gently pour the remaining hot water into the press, ensuring all grounds are submerged. Do not stir forcefully.
- Place the lid/plunger assembly gently on top of the carafe, resting the filter just above the water line. Allow the coffee to steep undisturbed for a total of 4 minutes.
- Once the timer hits 4 minutes, slowly and steadily press the plunger straight down over 20–30 seconds until it reaches the bottom.
- Serve all the brewed coffee immediately into mugs to stop the extraction process and prevent bitterness.
