The French press

The French press steeps the coffee in the water, like tea: it gives a round, bold cup.

The recipe

1. 30 g of coffee, coarse grind (like coarse salt).
2. 500 g of water at 94 °C.
3. Stir, then put the lid on without pressing.
4. Wait 4 minutes.
5. Break the crust, skim off the foam, then press gently.

Our barista’s tip

Serve straight away: coffee left on the grounds keeps brewing and turns bitter.
