FRENCH PRESS

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

  • Freshly roasted VIERA COFFEE CO. coffee
  • French Press
  • Gooseneck Kettle (preferred)
  • Hot water
  • Digital scale (optional)
  • Grinder - coarse

 

HOW YOU’LL DO IT

  1. Bring 1 litre (33.8 ounces) of filtered water to boil in a gooseneck spouted kettle, stovetop teakettle or electric kettle.
  1. Weigh out 64 grams of freshly roasted, whole bean coffee on a scale. If you don’t have a scale, you can also measure this with a tablespoon. We recommend about 10 level tablespoons. (1 Tablespoon ≈ 6 grams)
  1. Using a grinder, grind the coffee to a coarse consistency.
  1. Place the French Press on the scale, add the coarsely ground coffee to the brewer.
  1. After starting your timer, quickly fill the brewer to the top with the filtered water just off boil until reaching 1,000g.
  1. After 30 seconds have passed, a crust of coffee should form at the top. To help release any trapped gases, use a spoon to lightly pat down this crust, which will ensure all the grounds have been saturated.
  1. Secure the lid into place, without plunging yet.
  1. After 4 minutes have passed, gently press the plunger down.
  1. Smell the delicious coffee smell floating through the air. Grab some mugs, share and enjoy.
