1

Get the right grind

Start by grinding your coffee beans to a coarse consistency. We recommend using a burr grinder to achieve that perfect grind size.

2

Add coffee and hot water

Place the desired amount of coffee grounds into the French press. A general guideline is one tablespoon (7-8 grams) of coffee per cup of water. Pour hot water (just off the boil) over the coffee, filling the French press about halfway.

3

Let it bloom and stir

Give the coffee and water a gentle stir to ensure all the grounds are fully saturated. Allow the coffee to bloom for about 30 seconds before proceeding to the next step. This blooming process helps to release the coffee's flavors.

4

Press and brew

Attach the plunger, but don't press down just yet. Let the coffee steep for 4 minutes. When the time is up, press the plunger down slowly and steadily to separate the brewed coffee from the grounds.

5

Serve and enjoy

Pour the freshly brewed coffee into your favorite mug or cup. Take a moment to inhale the aromatic goodness, then sip and savor the delicious flavors. Ah, pure bliss!
