1. Grind Coffee
Grind 1.1oz (30g) of coffee to a coarse setting (suitable for French Press).
Too fine a grind can create sediment and result in a muddy taste.
2. First Pour
Quickly pour 16.9fl oz (500ml) of hot water at approximately 203°F (95°C).
Ensure all coffee grounds are evenly saturated.

3. 4-Minute Wait

Do not disturb the floating grounds and crust during this time.

4. Break Crust
After 4 minutes, use two spoons to break and remove the crust on top.
Skipping this step may result in bitter and muddy flavors.
5. Remove Surface Foam
After breaking the crust, carefully remove any remaining foam from the surface.
6. Additional 5-Minute Wait
Let it sit for another 5 minutes without pressing the plunger.
This allows the fine particles to naturally settle to the bottom.
7. Slow Pour
Lower the plunger just slightly to help separate the grounds, but don't push it all the way down.
Pour slowly into cups from this position.

Pressing too hard or shaking can cause fine sediment to rise back up.
