The French press consists of a cylindrical jug, usually made of Pyrex glass or another heat-resistant material, with a lid attached to a plunger that ends in a filter.
The coffee is extracted through infusion, where the ground coffee is left to steep in hot water. The plunger is then pressed down at the end of the brewing process to separate the grounds from the liquid, making the coffee ready to be enjoyed.
The coffee brewed using this method is not as intense as an espresso, but it is smooth, long, and rich in aroma.
To achieve the perfect balance, three key factors must be considered: the quality of the coffee, the correct dosage, and the right grind size.
The water temperature must also be carefully controlled: it should be very hot but not boiling, to avoid burning the coffee and making it bitter.
HOW TO PREPARE IT?
1. First, fill the French press halfway with hot water.
2. Add 10g of ground coffee, approximately one heaped tablespoon.
3. Stir the mixture well.
4. Fill the press completely with hot water and let the coffee steep for a few minutes.
5. Gently press the plunger all the way down, then pour the coffee into a cup.
