Instructions
- Heat 1 cup Water (225g) to 93°C (200 °F). If you don't have an electric gooseneck kettle, there is a simple trick: bring the water to the boil and pour it into another pot (preferably a tiny gooseneck kettle). Transferring the water will cool it down to the right temperature.1 cup Water

- Place the French Press on the scale, pour in the coffee, and then tare the scale.
- Start the timer and brew quickly by adding 7.93 oz / 225 g hot water.

- Leave to infuse for up to 8 minutes.
- Then press the plunger down to just above the coffee and slowly pour out the coffee.
