Step 1: Heat the filtered water to 195°-205° F, which is just to shy of boiling. We will use 672 grams of water for the brewing process, but heat extra to allow for preheating the French Press. Once the water has heated to the appropriate temperature, pour some into the French Press and carefully and slowly swish around to heat the decanter. This water can be poured into your mug after a minute or so after it has warmed the French Press.
Step 2: Tare your scale then weigh out 40 grams of coffee. Grind the beans using a “coarse” grind setting.
Step 3: Pour the coffee grounds into French Press and place on scale. Tare the scale again.
Step 4: Pour half of the water into the French Press and allow the coffee to bloom, or de-gas, for about 30 seconds. Stir the grounds to increase flavor extraction.
Step 5: Pour the remainder of the water into the French Press. Place the lid onto the press, pressing the plunger down enough to create a seal so the brewing can take place.
Step 6: Set the timer, and when it reaches 4 minutes press down the plunger slowly.
Step 7: Pour into your favorite mug and enjoy! There’s enough to share, if you want to.
Step 8 [optional]: Transfer any remaining brewed coffee into another glass decanter so the brewing process does not continue and to avoid bitter tasting coffee.
