What You Need:
- 3C French Press
- Coffee: 36 grams set at medium-coarse grind
- Water: 660 grams or milliliters at 200 °F / 93.5 °C for brewing
- Additional water at 200 °F / 93.5 °C for preheating
- Stirring device
- Gram scale (1 gram = 1 milliliter)
Brewing time: 4 minutes
Step 1
Preheat your French press with hot water. Discard this water.
Step 2
Add coffee to the pot. Set it on top of the scale and tare the scale.
Step 3
Start the timer and begin pouring 540 grams of hot water into the pot. Saturate the coffee completely.
Step 4
Without pressing down on the plunger, place the lid on the pot.
Step 5
After 2 minutes, remove the lid and gently stir the coffee to further saturate all grounds. Pour the remaining 120 grams of hot water into the pot.
Step 6
Using two spoons, skim the oils and remaining floating grounds off the top of the brew. This will produce a cleaner cup & will stop the coffee from extracting. Without pressing down on the plunger, replace the lid.
Step 7
At 4 minutes, slowly press down on the plunger until it is at the bottom of the pot.
Step 8
Enjoy!
