Timer
Note : Before starting it is important to take apart your French Press and clean it completely regularly
To Prepare:
Step 1: Put coffee grounds into press pot. Note: The fresher the coffee, the more it will expand due to the amount of CO2 being released.
Step 2: Bring water just to a boil.
To Brew:
Step 3: Pour just enough water over the grounds to saturate them completely. Pouring in a spiral or back and forth motion allows this to be done evenly.
Do NOT fill the pot entirely.
Step 4: Set timer for 3-4 minutes.
Step 5 : Stir grounds slowly using a wooden or plastic utensil as not to cool down the coffee.
Step 6: After coffee has steeped, slow push plunger down to separate the grounds from the coffee.
Step 7: Slowing pour the coffee as soon as you’ve pressed it into preheat coffee cup. Remaining coffee is still in contact with the grounds and will continue to brew, therefore serve immediately.
