How to brew:

1. Weigh out 100 g of ground coffee – very course grind size.
2. Place French Press on scale, make sure to tare it, and pour grounds evenly at the bottom.
3. De-gas the coffee with a bloom phase by pouring 100 g of almost boiling water (enough to wet all of your grinds but no more) in the French Press.
4. Let sit for roughly 60 seconds.
5. Fill the French Press up with 500 g of cold filtered water.
6. Replace plunger-lid back on press and push plunger down to just above water line.
7. Place in fridge and let brew for 15-20 hours depending on preference – the longer the stronger.
8. Push plunger all the way down and serve!
