What You'll Need:

- French press (clean and dry)
- Freshly ground coffee (coarse, like breadcrumbs)
- Filtered water (~200°F / 93°C)
- Spoon or stir stick
- Scale & timer (optional but helps dial it in)

​

 Step-by-Step Instructions

- Preheat Your Press
- Add hot water, swirl, and discard — it helps maintain brew temperature.
- Add Coffee Grounds
- Use about 1g of coffee per 15–17g of water
- Example: 30g coffee to 500g water
- Adjust ratio based on bean and flavor preference.
- Pour Water & Stir
- Fill halfway, then stir gently to saturate grounds.
- Top off with remaining water, ensuring all grounds are wet.
- Place Lid & Wait
- Insert plunger lid just above water level — don’t plunge yet.
- Brew for 4 minutes (or a touch longer for extra body).
- Plunge Slowly
- Push down steadily — no rush, no force.
- Pour immediately once plunged to avoid over-extraction.
