Mug

8 Tablespoons of fresh coffee

Hot Water (about 96°c)
Warm up your empty French Press by rinsing it with very hot water. This helps maintain the temperature while brewing for best extraction.

Measure out 56g (about 8 Tablespoons) of coffee and grind it as coarse as breadcrumbs.

Now that your French Press is warmed up, discard the hot water and add coffee into the empty press. Start your count-up timer as soon as you add hot water. Fill it up halfway to the top saturating all the grounds, making sure that there are no dry spots.

At 1:00, use a wooden spoon or spatula to break the top layer we call the crust. We prefer to use wood and not metal so you don’t accidentally crack the glass. Give it a good stir.

Now, fill it all the way to the top with water. Put the top on and allow the coffee to brew without pressing it down.

At 4:00, you are ready to press. Firmly push the press all the way down. When you’ve finished pressing, serve the coffee immediately to avoid over extraction. If the coffee sits on the grounds too long, it continues to extract and will become bitter.
