Brewing guide

French Press

Brew with medium roasted coffee rather than light roasted

We see it everywhere – it became a household staple in the 90s and still is. The French Press. Grind, pour boiling water, press and serve. It’s easy, but let me give you a few tips anyway for optimization. First tip – don’t use very light roasted coffee. Preferably use a medium roasted coffee.

Find the remedies

We use a brew ratio of 1:16 between coffee and water.

01

Fresh beans taste best

Weigh the coffee. Grind the beans

Weigh out 59g of freshly roasted specialty coffee. Grind the coffee medium-coarse. We recommend using a grinder with large blades rather than a blender-style coffee grinder.

Pour the ground coffee into the French Press.

02

The importance of water

Pour in the water and stir

Place the French Press on a scale. Start the timer and pour 950g of water over the coffee. The water should be 92-96 degrees and preferably filtered for limescale.

03

Wait, wait and wait a bit more

Now press

Wait for 30 seconds and then stir the coffee. Then put the lid on the French Press. Wait for 4 minutes. And press the plunger down.

04

Time to taste

Serve and enjoy!

A small tip – since there’s no paper filter to catch the small dust particles, I recommend pouring half a cup for everyone and then pouring again for everyone. This way everyone gets the same taste experience.
