Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 7.93 oz Water filtered
  • 0.53 oz Coffee beans
  • Cubed Ice
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Heat 7.93 oz Water (225g) to 93°C (200 °F). If you don't have an electric gooseneck kettle, there is a simple trick: bring the water to the boil and pour it into another pot (preferably a tiny gooseneck kettle). Transferring the water will cool it down to the right temperature.
    7.93 oz Water
  • Weigh 0.53 oz Coffee beans (15 g).
    0.53 oz Coffee beans
  • And grind with a medium grind. Optionally, use already-ground coffee.
  • Rinse the French press with hot water. This will bring your French press to the right temperature and prevent the coffee from cooling down too quickly.
  • Place the French Press on the scale, pour in the coffee, and then tare the scale.
  • Start the timer and brew quickly by adding 7.93 oz / 225 g hot water.
  • Leave to stand for 4 minutes, and then break the crust that forms. Do not stir; just carefully press the top layer of foam (crust) into the coffee with a spoon.
  • Place the plunger on top (do not press through) and stop just before the crust.
  • Leave to infuse for up to 8 minutes.
  • Then press the plunger down to just above the coffee.
  • Fill your serving glass with Cubed Ice and slowly pour out the coffee.
