No.5 Cafetière
Your comprehensive field guide for how to brew the perfect Cafetière
The Cafetière, also known as a 'French Press' is a device that allows coffee to brew without being over exposed to pressure or the boiling process
Coffee 18g
Water 250ml
Temperature 95°C
Grind Cafetière or medium grind
Boil A Kettle
Start by boiling the kettle and preheating your cafetière with some hot water. Empty the water from the now warm cafetière.
The Grind
Add your ground coffee to the cafetière, if you have a grinder then grind your coffee to a coarse consistency. We suggest that you use 18g of dry coffee to every 250ml of water you use.
Extraction
Add approximately 75g of hot water to flood the coffee grinds and begin the extraction. Stir, leave for 30 seconds, and then add the rest of the water.
The Wait
Replace the cafetière lid and wait a further 3 minutes.
Create A Clean Cup
If you would like a cleaner cup, remove the crust from the top but this is entirely optional.
Time to Serve
Gently depress the plunger. Serve and Enjoy!
