This recipe is enough for 2 servings, but can be adjusted depending on the amount of folk you’re brewing for (just half the recipe if its for 1 or double for 4 etc).
YOU WILL NEED
A French Press (Cafetiere)
30g coarse grind coffee (consistency of rock salt)
500g of 95ºc water, plus a little for pre-heating
A spoon or stirrer
HOW TO BREW
-
After preheating your French Press using hot water, remove the lid and pop it on a set of scales. Zero the scales and add 30g of coarsely ground coffee.
-
Start your timer and carefully pour over 500g of 95ºc water.
-
Give it a quick stir to make sure all of the coffee grind is wet.
-
Pop the lid back on, but don’t plunge yet! Leave to brew for 4 minutes.
-
At 4 minutes, remove the lid and use a spoon or stirrer to break the layer of coffee that has formed on top.
-
Put the lid back on and plunge that plunger!
-
Decant the contents in to another preheated vessel so it doesn’t over-brew, then drink. Yay!
