Stuff You Need

• French Press
• Water (500g boiling)
• Coffee (30g medium grind)
• Scale (here is a scale we like to use)

• Timer (your phone works great)

How To Do It

Pre Brew

• Boil water 500g+
• Rinse French Press w/hot water
• Measure 30g coffee (16:1 ratio water to coffee)
• Grind coffee (medium)
• Discard hot water before adding coffee
• Add coffee to French press & tare scale

Brewing

• 4:00 – Start timer, pour 500g water evenly over grounds, place plunger inside French Press (do not push plunger down yet)
• 0:00 – Stir coffee 4x’s
• 1:00 – Restart timer for one minute & reset plunger on top of carafe (do not push down yet)
• 0:00 – Slowly push down plunger & serve

Tips

• Brew ratio is 16:1 (water to coffee)
• 1 coffee scoop = 10g coffee
• 1 tbsp = 5g coffee
• 1 fluid oz = 30g
• If brew time takes too long & coffee is bitter, try a coarser grind
• Use as hot of water as possible, especially for lighter roasts
• If coffee is too intense, use a coarser grind &/or less coffee
• If your coffee is too light, use a finer grind &/or more coffee
• Buying freshly roasted coffee makes a difference, & whole bean is always a better choice than pre-ground coffee
