1.
The French press consists of a cylindrical jug, in Pyrex glass or another heat-resistant material, and a lid with a plunger that ends in a filter.
2.
Heat the water (530 ml approx.) to a temperature between 92°C - 96°C.
3.
Grind coffee to a medium-fine particle size (Moka coffee will also do).
4.
Pour ground coffee into the coffee maker.
5.
The correct amount of coffee is as in the illustration, between about 15 and 30 g and depends on the capacity of the coffee maker.
6.
Pour in hot water, up to the level of about 3 cm from the rim of the coffee pot.
7.
Let it steep for 3 to 4 minutes. Some of the coffee powder will settle to the bottom of the coffee pot.
8.
Stir well for a few seconds.
9.
Insert the plunger attached to the lid and press down gently, so that the coffee does not spill. The filter will separate the drink from the coffee grounds.
10.
Pour coffee into the cup, preferably a mug.
