Step 1
- Rinse your French Press carafe with hot water to preheat. Dump the hot water.
- Place your French Press carafe on the scale and tare to 0.
- Dose your freshly ground New Harvest coffee into the carafe and shake gently to settle the grounds. Confirm that your dose is correct then tare the scale to 0 again.
Step 2
- Start your timer and, at the center of the grounds, vigorously add 120g of water, wetting all of the grounds.
- Allow the coffee to bloom, or off-gas, for 30-40 seconds. After the bloom, add the rest of your water vigorously, until you hit your total yield, 640g.
Step 3
- Place the lid on the carafe but do not plunge yet! Allow your coffee to brew for 4 minutes before pushing the plunger down.
- Plunge and decant promptly!
