Brew Guide Instructions
Cafetière
The classic Cafetière, perfect for social brewing. Hot water and coarse ground coffee infuse for a few minutes before a mesh filter collects the grounds, the downward pressure increasing the strength of the brew whilst neatly keeping bits and pieces out of your cup.
You will need:
- Clean Cafetière of a size to suit the occasion
- Digital Scales or a scoop measure of known volume
- Medium to coarse ground coffee
- Brew Ratio: 18g Hot Water : 1g Coffee
Instructions
- Choose and preheat the size of Cafetière to suit the number of cups you want to brew.
- Place the Cafetière on the scales, and tare.
- Weigh in ground coffee following the ratio suggested above. As a guide, if using, a level coffee scoop holds c.7-8g.
- Ensuring the hot water is off the boil at approx. temperature of 90-94°C / 195-200F, pour over the ground coffee.
- Stir the coffee a couple of times to combine, and leave to brew for 3-4 minutes, then gently stir the surface again.
- Place the plunger and lid on the pot, and slowly press down, collecting the coffee grounds as you go.
Caution: If pressing requires excessive pressure, the coffee grind may be too fine. Do not force the plunger down, under any circumstances.
