BREW GUIDE
The French Press is a timeless way to brew - full-bodied, rich, and simple. Unlike drip methods, it uses immersion brewing, where coffee grounds
steep fully in water, extracting deep flavor and natural oils for a smooth, balanced cup.
1: Choose the Right Grind
Use: Coarse ground coffee (like sea salt). Fine grounds can slip through the filter and over-extract, causing bitterness. Coarse grounds brew evenly and make plunging effortless.
Ratio: 1:15 (e.g. 20g coffee for 300ml water).
2: Heat Your Water Right
Ideal temperature: 90-96°C (just off the boil). Water that's too hot scalds the coffee; too cool and the flavours stay flat.
This range releases aroma and sweetness without harshness.
3: Bloom Your Grounds
Pour a little hot water - just enough to wet all the grounds. Wait 30 seconds.
This "bloom" lets carbon dioxide escape, allowing even extraction and unlocking the coffee's full aroma.
4: Immerse & Steeр
Add the rest of your water, stir gently, and cover with the lid (plunger raised). Brew for 4 minutes.
This balanced steep time draws out rich oils and depth without over-eхtraction.
5: Press & Pour
Press down slowly with steady pressure until the plunger reaches the bottom.
Serve immediately - letting it sit too long makes
the coffee bitter.
Sip and savour your cup of pure immersion!
