French Press is the classic craft brewing method.
Rich, luscious, strong, balanced and incredibly easy to make. Anyone can make a delicious French Press but if you follow a few simple rules your French Press can be elevated into a culinary work of art.
Tools needed:
- 12 oz. French Press
- Electronic gram scale
- Coffee grinder
- Bamboo stirring paddle
- Fresh ground Bluestone Lane coffee
We recommend:
- Flagstaff
- Nicaragua Jinotega
Brew time:
4 mins
Brew steps:
Step 1:
30g of ground coffee – grind target is the texture of sea salt.
Step 2:
Boil 350g of water then let cool for 2 minutes to sit at 195 F.
Step 3:
Add the coffee to the French Press.
Step 4:
Add 60g of water to cover the grounds and stir well to ensure all grinds are wet.
Step 5:
Fill the French Press with remaining water and wait for 4 minutes.
Step 6:
Slowly press the French Press and then pour the coffee into a decanter to separate the brewed coffee and the grounds. Letting the coffee and the grounds sit together in the French Press can create an extremely bitter over-extracted coffee.
Step 7:
Enjoy!
