Ingredients:

  • 30 grams (2 Tablespoons) Freshly roasted Whole Bean Coffee (Coarse Grind)
  • 355 ml (12 fluid ounces) Filtered Water

Instructions:

  1. Heat filtered water to approximately 200°F (93°C). If you lack a thermometer, allow the kettle to sit for 45 seconds after boiling.
  2. Measure the coffee beans and grind them immediately before brewing to a Coarse and Uniform consistency, similar to coarse sea salt.
  3. Pre-heat the French press carafe by swirling a small amount of hot water inside, then discard the water.
  4. Pour the freshly ground coffee into the bottom of the warmed carafe.
  5. 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'.
  6. Gently pour the remaining hot water into the press, ensuring all grounds are submerged. Do not stir forcefully.
  7. 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.
  8. Once the timer hits 4 minutes, slowly and steadily press the plunger straight down over 20–30 seconds until it reaches the bottom.
  9. Serve all the brewed coffee immediately into mugs to stop the extraction process and prevent bitterness.
