French Press: how to brew it

Coffee

30 g

Water

500 ml about 2 cups

Water temperature

92 °C — boiled, then left about a minute A medium-dark roast dissolves faster and turns bitter if you push it.

Brew time

3:30 A Natural coffee gives its fruit up early and its ferment late.

That is a ratio of 1:17, if you would rather scale it.

1. Add the coffee and all the water at once.
2. Leave it four minutes, then break the crust with a spoon.
3. Lift the foam off the top.
4. Press the plunger down slowly and pour it all out.

• It is ground for this brewer already. If it runs through too fast, use a little more coffee rather than reaching for a finer grind.
• 80:20 coffee and chicory. It brews darker and faster than coffee alone, so pull it a touch short.
• Roasted 6 days ago, which is about as good as it gets.
