French Press

 

Ingredients:

• French Press
• Kettle
• Scale
• Water
• Coffee (coarsely ground)
• Timer

 

Directions:

1. Preheat the French press by rinsing it with hot water and discarding the water. At this time you should also begin to heat the water in your kettle. 
2. Measure out 43 grams of your coarsely ground coffee. If you are grinding coffee at home, your grounds should look to be about the size of course sea salt. 
3. Place the French press on the scale. Add your coffee grounds and tare so that the scale reads zero. 
4. At this point remove your kettle from the heat source. Wait for it to cool slightly if you are using a traditional kettle. The temperature of the water should be between 195-205 degrees.
5. Pour water into your French press until it reads 600 grams. Make sure as you are pouring all the grounds within the French press are being saturated. 
6. Cover your French press and set the timer for four minutes.
7. When the four minutes are up, slowly press down on the plunger on top of your French press to push the grounds down to the bottom. 
8. With the top still on, pour and enjoy!
