    Guidelines for Brewing with a Three Cup French Press

    PARAMETERS:

    Your Three Cup (22 ounce) French Press

    Coffee: 36 grams set at medium-coarse grind


    Water: 660 grams or milliliters at 200 °F / 93.5 °C for brewing
    Additional water at 200 °F / 93.5 °C for preheating
    Stirring device
    Gram scale (1 gram = 1 milliliter)
    Brewing time: 4 minutes

    Step 1 Begin with clean equipment.

    Step 2 Preheat your French press with hot water. Discard this
    water.

    Step 3 Add coffee to the pot. Set it in top of the scale and tare the
    scale.

    Step 4 Start the timer and begin pouring 540 grams of hot water
    into the pot. Saturate the coffee completely.

    Step 5 Without pressing down on the plunger, place the lid on the
    pot.

    Step 6 After 2 minutes, remove the lid and gently stir the coffee to
    further saturate all grounds. Pour the remaining 120 grams
    of hot water into the pot.

    Step 7 Using two spoons, skim the oils and remaining floating
    grounds off the top of the brew. This will produce a cleaner
    cup & will stop the coffee from extracting. Without pressing
    down on the plunger, replace the lid.

    Step 8 At 4 minutes, slowly press down on the plunger until it is at


    the bottom of the pot.

    Step 9 Decant and enjoy!
