Description
Step 1
Step 2
Weigh and grind your beans. You want a coarse grind which resembles sea salt. It is best to weigh your grounds as your grinder always eats a bit, but in reality weighing your beans first is just fine.
As a rough guide you want your water to coffee ratio to be between 15:1 and 18:1. So for a 50oml press you want between 33g and 27g.
If you haven’t got time to weigh your beans each time, do it once and work out roughly how many coffee scoops or table spoons it is (it might just save you a few secs when you are really against the clock but you need your brew).

Step 5
Step 6
Gently place the lid on top and lower the plunger so the bloom is just submerged.
Set a timer for 4 minutes and wait. Unfortunately there are no tricks to save time here.
Step 7
Once the timer goes plunge and pour immediately, do not let the coffee sit in the press once you have plunged else it will become chalky and overexerted.
Too much body moving towards bitter try less coffee or a coarser grind, not enough body moving towards acidic try adding more coffee or a finer grind.
Enjoy.
