What you'll need:
French Press | Scale | Timer | Boiling Water | Medium Ground Coffee
1. Prep your brew
A. Grind 25 grams of your favorite Pachamama coffee. Your coffee should be medium ground with the consistency of rough sand.
B. Ready your french press and have a mug handy for when you're done with your brew.
2. Bring water to boil
The ideal water temperature is between 195° and 205° Fahrenheit. If you don't have a thermometer, you can use water 20 seconds off the boil.
3. Pre-rinse your French Press
Pour your hot water into the French Press to preheat your vessel and avoid heat loss when brewing.
Dump out your water.
4. Add coffee and level the bed
Place your French Press on your scale and add 25 grams of ground Pachamama coffee.
Level the bed, meaning that you want to make your coffee as flat as possible.
Tare your scale.
5. Bloom
Pour double the dry weight, so add 40 grams/ml of water directly over the grounds.
Start your timer.
Allow the grounds to "bloom" for 30 seconds.
6. Fill French Press
After the bloom, pour in concentric circles to agitate the coffee grounds.
Pour a total of 300 ml/gr of water.
7. Place lid
Place the lid on top of French Press and plunge slightly, just below the water line.
8. Wait 4 minutes
Allow your coffee to brew undisturbed for 4 minutes.
9. Plunge
After 4 minutes, push the plunger down to the bottom.
10. Pour and enjoy!
Enjoy your delicious cup of Pachamama coffee.
Taste and adjust your time accordingly. More time will lead to a longer extraction, which means more body or boldness. A shorter time will potentially add sweetness and lightness to your cup.
