With a french press:
- Must be a clear brew (torra clara or soft coffee in BR)
- Boil the press so coffee stays warm longer
- But DON'T boil the water! If it boils, let it cool down b4
- 2 ts coffee + 200 (180) mL water (+ 2 ts sugar)
- or 5/6 ts + 1 L water?
- 6 g coffee + 100 mL water (but 80 to 100g/1 L gives 5 to 6 ts)
- Depending on the thickness of the grain, use 4, 4-6, 6-9 min
- Some say 4 min, max
- The best grain is the medium thickness one for this method
- Don't reheat it
- Discard the used coffee: don't let it get in touch with your drink!
- Use some of the used coffee to soften and give your steak some taste
- Leave the drink in the press only for so long (it gets in contact with the used coffee and gets bitter)
- Leave the drink in the mug for 1 min before drinking
- Pour gently the coffee into the mug: this way the "dust" will remain in the press
- The coffee used must be very good and well ground
