GETTING STARTED
STEP 1 - WEIGHT
Weigh the coffee beans with the digital scale. If you do not have a scale, then you will need around 6ml of water for every grams of coffee. So 1:6 depending on the capacity of your French Press.
STEP 2 - GRIND
French Press works best with Coarse Grain. Think of a rice grain when you are trying to grind it coarse. If you do not have scale, fill up 1/6th of your French Press
STEP 3 - BOIL
Boil water (100 degrees centigrade) and let it cool for 30 seconds
STEP 4 - RINSE
Pour your ground coffee powder into the French Press
STEP 5 - BREW
Pour the boiled water into the French Press. Put the lid back on the French Press container with the plunger completely upright position. Brew for 4 minutes
STEP 6 - YOUR MOMENT IS READY
Press the plunger down slowly on your French Press. Pour all the coffee out otherwise it will continue to brew and will taste bitter after a while
