This brewing method is one of the easiest ways to make coffee. The coffee is submerged in hot water for the full brewing time, resulting in a full bodied cup of coffee. It offers more punch than a pour over . Finally, the use of a metal filter helps extracts some of the bean’s natural oils, creating an umami packed and silly cup of coffee.

French press is quite forgiving when it comes to grind size, so don’t worry too heavily about it. Aim for somewhere the size of breadcrumbs. Once the coffee is brewed, plunge slowly. Sometimes small coffee grounds will be mixed into the coffee, which some people like! If you want to avoid it,

plunge as slow as possible and pour into your cup slowly.

Step 2

Place your 13g of coarsely ground beans into the french press. The grind is very coarse because the beans will be soaked in the water for a longer time.  Too fine a grind will extract bitterne

Step 4

After 1 minute, use a spoon and mix gently. This agitation will help all the beans to be soaked in the water and extract more flavour.

Step 6

While waiting, place the lid on top of the press. Do no push down. This will help keep the coffee warm and not drop in temperature.

Step 8

After plunging, slowly pour into your cup. You will notice a darker colour than a hand drip as well as some of the beans’ oil on the surface. Enjoy!
