Making Coffee – The Plunger or French Press

The Plunger or French Press is an excellent method for brewing the darker roasts and blends of beans and producing a full-textured coffee.

Use a medium to coarse grind of coffee. Preheat the pot and plunger with hot water. Add 1 tablespoon coffee for each 180ml cup into the glass cylinder. Slowly pour the water (just off the boil) into the cylinder and stir the grounds. Set the plunger on top of the cylinder and steep 2 to 4 minutes.

Press plunger down slowly (if the plunger does not press down easily, try a slightly coarser grind.) Allow sediment to settle for 30 seconds before pouring.
