The four steps
- Weigh and grind. Rinse the filter and grind 15 grams of coffee medium to medium-fine.
- Pour and stir. Pour 200 grams of water over the coffee and stir briefly.
- Let steep. Let the coffee steep for 30 to 60 seconds.
- Press slowly. Place the plunger and press down slowly. That takes about 20 to 30 seconds.
Adjusting to taste
Does your cup taste too sour or sharp? Then grind it a bit finer or let the coffee steep a little longer. Does it taste bitter? Then grind it a bit coarser or shorten the steeping time. Always adjust one thing at a time, so you can taste what it does. Read more about grinding in the best grind size per brewing method.
