French Press Brew Guide

First, grind coffee at coarse setting. Then, add grounds to the french press and distribute using a gentle side-to-side motion.

Next, start your timer and add 180g of water. Swirl the slurry to evenly saturate all of the grounds.

After 00:30, quickly add the remainder of the water. At about 01:00, or when a crust has formed, use a spoon to stir and reincorporate the floating grounds.

At 04:00, gently depress the plunger about halfway to the bottom. Then decant the brew into a separate vessel to stop the extraction.
