About coffee

Origin: Ethiopia
Process: Organic wash 
Variety: Mixed
Toaster: The Folks

FRENCH PRESS

COFFEE: 18g
WATER: 300g

  1. Extraction temperature 94ºC;
  2. Grind 18g of coffee - medium/coarse grind (like coarse salt);
  3. Pour 300 g of water over 10-15 s, covering well;
  4. Let it rest for 2 minutes;
  5. Gently stir the crust at 2 minutes;
  6. Remove the crust with a spoon after 3 minutes
  7. At 3:15 seconds, slowly lower the plunger to 15 seconds 
  8. It immediately stops extraction 

PRO TIP: After pressing, it immediately transfers the coffee from the French Press to a carafe or server.
Let it stand for 4-5 minutes in the jar before serving - the fine particles settle to the bottom, the flavour stabilizes and the texture is clean and sweet, with no risk of over-extraction.
