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 millilitres 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!
