Appreciate the finer side of coffee
French Press, or as us Aussies call it, Plunger, allows for steeping of the coffee, adding tiny bits of coffee grounds that further percolates the flavour.
Both the French and Italians have long argued about the origins of the French Press. According to a 1850s legend it was a Frenchmen who first brewed his coffee this way for his daily walk, preparing his coffee on an open fire.
-
Coffee, especially when French Press-brewed has been shown to reduce the incidence of gout, reduce dental cavities due to tannins and may help reduce Type II diabetes.
-
Make sure you start with an even course grind that’s burr ground to keep it cool and maintain the flavour
-
Wet the grinds first to eliminate carbon dioxide in the grind, getting complete saturation of the coffee and oils.
-
Stir after about a minute and slow pour boiling water while slowly stirring the coffee.
-
Let it brew for around three or four minutes but not longer to avoid any bitterness.
