This method involves steeping coarsely ground coffee beans in hot water, then pressing a plunger down to separate the coffee grounds from the liquid.
French press coffee is known for its robust, full-bodied flavor and is a great option for those who enjoy a stronger cup of coffee.
Instructions
- Heat water in a kettle to 93°C (or just off the boil)
- While the water is heating up, grind coffee beans coarsely.
- Place the French press on a scale and add 20 grams of coffee.
- Pour 350g of hot water over the coffee grounds, saturating them completely.
- Start a timer, stir the coffee and let the coffee steep for 4 minutes.
- After 4 minutes, press the plunger down slowly.
- Pour coffee into your mug and enjoy!
Tips
- If you find the coffee too strong or bitter, adjust the steeping time or the amount of coffee used.
- For a smoother flavour, try adding a splash of milk.
- Clean your French press after each use to ensure the best flavour from your coffee.
