Ingredients & Equipment
You will need:
Freshly ground medium-fine Encanto Coffee
Hot water (92-96°C or 198-205°F)
A French press
A timer
A stirring tool (wooden or plastic preferred)
A server with a plastic handle.
Ingredients
20g Encanto Coffee
-
Measure and Add Coffee: Use 1 gram of Encanto Coffee for every 15 grams of water (e.g., 30g coffee for 450ml water). Add the coffee grounds to the French press.
-
Add Hot Water: Pour hot water over the grounds, filling the French press halfway. Give it a gentle stir to saturate the grounds.
-
Fill and Steep: Add the rest of the water, place the lid on with the plunger pulled up, and let the coffee steep for 4 minutes.
-
Press: After 4 minutes, slowly press the plunger down to separate the grounds from the coffee.
-
Serve: Pour the coffee immediately to prevent over-extraction.
