Warm up and rinse the empty press with hot water. This helps maintain the temperature for best extraction.

Step 2 | Measure Coffee Grounds

Grind 20g of coffee (3 tbsp) as fine as breadcrumbs and prepare around 240g of hot water (about 92-96°C).


Step 3 | Add Water

Discard the rinse water and add coffee into the empty press. Gently pour twice the amount of hot water (40g) than coffee (20g) onto your grounds.
