  1. Place the ground coffee in the French press and level the bed. Next, add 950 grams of hot water. It's important to ensure all the ground coffee is moistened. A good way to do this is to pour in half the water first, stir a little, and then pour in the rest of the water. 
  2. Let the coffee steep for 3 minutes.
  3. Almost at the end of the infusion time, using a spoon, gently push all the ground coffee to the bottom of the French press and stir 5 times, ensuring all the grounds are mixed. Then, remove the crust that forms on the surface – this results in a cleaner-tasting cup.
  4. After removing the foam, place the lid and plunger on the French press and gently press. 
  5. Wait 2 minutes before pouring the coffee into a cup or carafe, as the sediment will settle to the bottom of the French press. 

    1. PRO TIP: Don't want to make such a large batch? No problem, reduce the coffee to 30g and water to 450g. However, grind the coffee slightly finer when reducing the amount.
