Rinse your paper filter with hot water to remove papery flavors and warm the brew basket and carafe.
Add your freshly ground coffee into the filter and gently shake to create a level bed.
Pour fresh, cold, filtered water into the machine’s tank.
Start the brew cycle and resist the urge to lift the lid.
Once brewing finishes, gently swirl the carafe to mix the coffee before pouring.
Classic and full-bodied. The French Press originated in Italy in the 1920s, and became a go-to across Europe for those who wanted a strong, immersive brew without the flash.
Why we love it: It gives you a rich, textured cup with almost no equipment. It’s the kind of coffee you sip slowly on a quiet morning, dockside or on your porch.
Pour hot water into your French Press to preheat it, then discard the water.
Add your coarse-ground coffee into the press and gently shake the container to level the bed.
Pour hot water over the grounds, saturating everything evenly. Let it bloom for 30 seconds, then fill to your desired level.
Place the lid on (plunger up) and allow the coffee to steep for 4 minutes.
Slowly press the plunger down and immediately pour the coffee into cups or a thermal carafe.
Place a filter in your dripper and rinse it thoroughly with hot water.
Add your medium-fine coffee grounds and gently tap or shake the dripper to level the surface.
Start with a small pour (about twice the weight of the coffee) to bloom for 30–45 seconds.
Slowly pour water in controlled spirals, keeping the bed submerged but not flooded.
When the final water passes through, remove the dripper and swirl the carafe before serving.
Insert a paper filter into the cap, rinse it with hot water, and preheat the AeroPress chamber.
Add your finely ground coffee to the chamber and lightly shake to level.
Pour hot water over the grounds and allow a brief bloom of about 10 seconds, then stir gently.
Attach the cap, wait your desired time (typically 60–90 seconds), then press slowly.
Add hot water to taste if you prefer an Americano-style cup.
Choose a coarse grind and add it to your brewing vessel or cold brew maker.
Pour cold, filtered water over the grounds, ensuring everything is fully wet.
Give the mixture a gentle stir and cover or seal the container.
Refrigerate and steep for 12–24 hours, depending on desired strength.
Strain through a filter or mesh, then refrigerate the concentrate.
Turn on your machine, allow it to heat fully, and run a quick water purge through the group head.
Add your finely ground coffee to the portafilter, then distribute and level the bed.
Tamp the grounds with firm, even pressure and lock the portafilter into the group head.
Start the shot and watch for a steady, honey-like stream.
Serve immediately for optimal flavor and texture.
