How to Use your French Press

July 03, 2024

BREW GUIDE

Step 1: Heat Your Water

Begin by heating water to just below boiling—around 95°C. This ensures optimal extraction without scalding the coffee grounds.

Step 2: Measure Your Coffee

Using the Coffee Spoon included with your French press, add coarsely ground coffee based on your desired serving size:
☕ 350 ml: 2-3 scoops (15-22g)
☕ 600 ml: 4-5 scoops (30-38g)
☕ 1000 ml: 6-7 scoops (45-52g)

Step 3: Bloom for Better Flavour

Before adding all the water, pour a small amount over the coffee grounds, stir gently, and let it sit for 45 seconds. This process, known as “blooming,” helps release trapped gases, enhancing the coffee’s flavor and reducing bitterness. Use the following water measurements for blooming:
📏 350ml Size → 290ml water
📏 600ml Size → 580ml water
📏 1000ml Size → 870ml water

Step 4: Brew, Press & Enjoy!

Let your coffee steep for 3-4 minutes before slowly pressing down the plunger. This filters the coffee, leaving you with a perfectly brewed cup. Pour and enjoy the rich, aromatic flavours of your handcrafted French press coffee!

How to brew Iced Coffee using Moka Pot

Brew Guide: Moka Pot Iced Coffee Enjoy the bold, rich flavors of Moka pot coffee in a refreshing iced version. Follow these simple steps for the perfect balance of strength and smoothness. Step 1: Brew Your Coffee Start by brewing a strong coffee in your Moka pot using freshly ground coffee beans. Use a medium-fine grind for the best extraction. Once the coffee is ready, remove the Moka pot from heat and let it rest for a minute. Step 2: Cool the Coffee To prevent excessive ice melt, allow the coffee to cool slightly. You can speed up this process by pouring it into a heat-resistant glass or pitcher and letting it sit for a few minutes. Step 3: Prepare the Ice Fill a large glass with ice cubes. The more ice you use, the slower the dilution, keeping the coffee bold and flavorful. Step 4: Pour & Chill Slowly pour the cooled Moka pot coffee over the ice. The ice will rapidly chill the coffee, and some cubes will melt slightly, creating a balanced, smooth taste. Enhance your iced coffee with your favourite add-ins: ✅ Milk or Creamer – For a creamy texture✅ Sweetener – Sugar, simple syrup, or condensed milk for a sweet touch✅ Flavored Syrups – Vanilla, caramel, or hazelnut for extra indulgence
