-
STEP 1
Measure how much coffee you need
Measure out 30g of ground coffee and place it into the brewer. If you don't have a weighing scale, you'll want roughly 2 heaped tablespoons.
-
STEP 2
Get the right coffee to water ratio
Pour 500g/500ml of hot water over your coffee.
-
STEP 3
Stir the grounds
Gently stir the coffee to make sure all of your grounds are saturated by the water.
-
STEP 4
Let the coffee brew
Pop the lid on-top, but don't plunge just yet. Set your timer for a minimum of 4 minutes - the longer your brew, the more flavours you'll extract from the coffee and the stronger your brew will be.
-
STEP 5
Press your coffee
Push the plunger down so it sits just below the surface of the liquid. Pour your coffee.
