French Press

Method

For French Press, use 15 g coarse coffee to 225–240 g hot water. Preheat the press, add the grounds, pour to cover, and stir to wet all grounds. Steep 4:00, then break the crust, skim foam, and press slowly—decant immediately to avoid over-extraction. If the cup is muddy/bitter, go coarser or shorten the steep; if it’s weak, grind finer or add a touch more coffee.

Steps

1. Preheat press; add 15 g.
2. Add hot water; stir to wet all grounds.
3. 4:00 Break crust, skim foam; slow press.
4. Immediately decant to avoid over-extraction.

Fix it: Muddy/bitter → coarser or shorter steep. Weak → finer or a touch more coffee.
