  • • Use 1:15 or 1:16 coffee (g) to water (ml) ratio for any brew method

    • Bring water to a boil (205°F) then let cool for 30 seconds

    • Preheat your french press by rinsing with the hot water, then discard the water

    • Add ground coffee to french press, and make sure it’s level, give it a little swirl or tap

    • Once water reaches 196°F, start the timer and fill your french press about halfway with water

    • After 1 minute stir grounds 8-10 times to make sure the water is saturating all the grounds

    • At 2 minutes, pour in the remaining hot water to the top and secure the top of the french press, being careful to create a seal but not press down.

    • At 4 minutes, slowly press the top of the french press down. You’re ready to pour and enjoy!

    -     Helps with even extraction

    • Start your timer, and slowly pour a small amount of water in a circular motion to “bloom” the coffee, making sure it is all saturated.

    • Wait 30-45 seconds

    • Pour about half of your remaining water, starting in the middle with concentric circles and slowly working your way outward until you reach the edge

    • Swirl or stir grounds about 6-8 times gently creating a vortex

    • Pour the remaining half of your water, starting in the middle with concentric circles and slowly working your way outward until you reach the edge
