Cafetiere

Cafetiere or French press is an easy go-to coffee brewer, no filters are needed and great for sharing!

Method

  1. Our go-to brew ratio is 6g of coffee to 100 ml of water. For 2 large mugs to share we like to use 30g of coffee to 500ml of water.
  2. Place 30g of medium/medium coarse ground coffee into the bottom of the cafetiere. Pour 500ml of boiling filter water straight onto the grounds (Cafetieres are often glass or metal and can lose heat quickly, so boiling is best. If it’s a cold day, preheat the cafetiere before brewing)
  3. Stir to combine grounds with water and let sit for 3 minutes to brew. Once the 3 mins are up, stir again.
  4. Any remaining coffee sitting on top of the water, scrape off with a spoon. Now you can place your plunger and plunge.
  5. Let the cafetiere sit for a further 3 mins, this allows all the bits of coffee to sink and give clarity to the brew. Now it’s time to pour and enjoy!
