How To Make Cafetière Coffee - The Ultimate Guide For The Perfect Brew.
A cafetière, also known as a french press or coffee plunger, is a simple and classic way to brew coffee. The press uses a metal or nylon mesh filter to separate the coffee grounds from the brewed coffee liquid, which results in a rich and flavorful cup.
Check out our video above which simply guides you through the process, or here's a written step-by-step guide on how to make cafetiere coffee:
-
Start by heating water to around 93°C.
-
But how much coffee in a cafetiere ? While you're waiting for the water to heat up, grind your coffee beans to a coarse texture. The amount of coffee you use will depend on your personal taste and the size of your cafetière, but we recommend 20g for a 330ml press.
-
Once the water is heated, add it to the cafetière. Be sure to preheat the press itself by adding a little hot water and swirling it around before discarding it.
-
Add the coffee grounds to the press and gently stir. Then leave for 30 seconds to bloom.
- Top up to the fill line and stir well.
-
Put the lid on the press with the plunger pulled all the way up, and let the coffee steep for about 5-8 minutes.
-
Press the plunger all the way down to the bottom of the pot. This will separate the coffee from the grounds.
-
