French Press Beans or Plunger Coffee Beans How to Use

This is one of the most simple, fool proof methods of brewing coffee. Invented in the early 90’s, French press beans or Plunger coffee such as those popularized by Bodum allow the user to extract a full-bodied brew without the use of complex machinery.

Whilst the French press beans method is super simple, Black Market Roasters can almost guarantee mistakes are made. It’s important to realise that plunger coffee must be decanted ASAP after brewing so it doesn’t over-steep. As soon as you complete your French press coffee, pour the liquid out of the plunger and into a carafe or mug. http://www.beansurfing.com.au/french-pressplunger-brew-guide/ is cool guide as well.

How-to-french-press guide:

  1. Boil fresh water
  2. Grind course freshly roasted coffee beans into the plunger – Head to: bmroasters.staging.wpengine.com/product/french-press-plunger-coffee-beans
  3. Pour a little hot water (around 92 deg) slowly over the grounds, just until the coffee grounds are covered
  4. Stir the paste slowly 3 times, to ensure all the coffee grounds are wet
  5. Let the coffee bloom (breathe) for 30 seconds
  6. Pour the remainder of the water in and pop the top of the plunger on
    1. We recommend a coffee to water ratio of 1:12
    2. (Don’t press down yet)
    3. Wait for 4 minutes, no more, no less
    4. Press the plunger slowly down; it should give a little resistance, indicating the grind is just right. If it falls down by itself, adjust the grind-fine. If it is really hard to push, adjust the grind-coarse.
    5. Pour the contents out straight away to prevent over extraction of the remaining grinds. Consume as quickly as possible
