French Press
Coffee prepared with this tool is usually dense and full-bodied. The most common problem with this tool is over-extraction of coffee, so the coffee should be transferred from the tool to a cup or container after preparation.
What do you need?
Coffee, brewing tool, grinder, scale, timer, water kettle, brewing spoon
Step One:
Start heating the water (quantity depends on the size of the tool)
Step Two:
While the water is heating, grind the coffee at a ratio of 1:10 to 1:15. The grind should be coarse.
Step Three:
Start pouring water in the center, twice the amount of coffee.
Step Four:
Stir the coffee slightly with a spoon and let the coffee bloom for 30 seconds.
Step Five:
Pour the remaining water into the tool and let the coffee extract for 4-6 minutes.
Step Six:
Press the handle down. If pressing requires force, it's possible the grind was too fine. If the opposite is true, the grind might have been too coarse.
When you stop pressing, transfer the coffee to a cup or another container to prevent over-extraction.
Step Seven:
Enjoy your coffee
