Ingredients
- 30 g coarsely ground coffee
- 500 ml water at 94 °C
Equipment
- French press
- Coffee grinder
- Digital scale
- Kettle
- Timer
- Spoon
Steps
- Add the coffee to a preheated press and pour in all the water, saturating the grounds.
- Steep for 4 minutes without stirring.
- Break the crust with a spoon, skim the foam and floating grounds off the top.
- Press gently just to the surface of the liquid, and pour every cup out right away.
Tips
- Leaving coffee sitting on the grounds keeps extracting it — decant everything at once.
- If the cup feels muddy, grind coarser or pour more slowly, leaving the last sip in the press.
