Brewing methods
French Press
A popular way of brewing coffee at home and a really good option for sharing. A coarse grind and a long brewing time will result in a coffee with a full body.
Things you need:
- Cafetiere
- Approximately 7g of coffee per 100g of water
- Grinder
- Filtered water (92-94°C)
- Scales
- Spoon
- Timer
Recipe:
- 1. Measure the appropriate amount of coffee and grind at a very coarse setting, n°7.
- Preheat your cafetiere with boiling water.
- After pouring away the water used to preheat, add your coffee into the cafetiere, then pour on your water making sure you saturate all the grinds.
- Once you have added all the water, give it a stir then let the coffee brew for around 4 minutes.
- After 4 minutes, scoop out as much of the grinds as possible. This will make it easier to plunge, and also help reduce the amount of grinds in your cup.
- Plunge the filter all the way to the bottom, then serve.
