01
Pour Over

01

Weigh 20g of coffee and grind to medium-course.

02

Boil water; let rest for 1 minute. Put the filter into pour over vessel, wet paper filter, and discard water.

03

Add ground coffee and 30g of water. Wait 30 seconds.

04

Pour water centrically from the centre to the outside until you reach 200g and wait 30 more seconds.

05

Add the rest of the water in the same motion until you reach 320g.

Let coffee finish dripping and you are done!

02
French Press

01

Grind 31g of coffee to a medium-coarse and put into the french press.

02

Boil water; let rest for 1 minute.  Pour 500g of the water into the press with the ground coffee and let sit for 4 minutes.

03

Stir the crust and scoop the foam and coffee bits off the top.

04

Wait another 5-8 minutes to allow everything to settle to the bottom.

05

Plunge to just beneath the surface and no more. You don’t want to agitate the coffee bed on the bottom; we want to use the plunger as a strainer. Now pour gently into your mug.

If it runs too fast, grind your coffee finer. If it runs too slow, coarsen the grind of the coffee.
