Method for preparing your coffee in a French Press

The French Press not only has a rich history, but it's also widely accepted among coffee lovers around the world, as it's one of the easiest immersion methods to use. We share the steps you need to follow to prepare your coffee in a French Press and continue enjoying those great moments with your family and friends.

When preparing your coffee in one of these coffee makers, it is important that you know:

• You'll have a full-bodied coffee. That is, you'll be able to experience that long-lasting sensation on your tongue and in your mouth.

• You'll get coffee with a dense, sandy texture. This is because by not using a paper filter, the coffee oils linger until the end.

We'll give you a very easy technique to help you start enjoying your coffee made in the French Press.

Recipe:

• 30 grams of Huma coffee, medium grind
• 500 grams of water at 95 degrees

Preparation:

• Preheat your French press and mugs with a little hot water.
• Discard the water and add the 30g of Huma coffee to the coffee maker.
• Add 500g of water. Make sure all the coffee is moistened.
• Add the lid without lowering the plunger for 4 minutes. A crust will begin to form, which you shouldn't break.
• After 4 minutes, break up the crust by gently stirring with a spoon. Remove any foam that forms on the surface.
• Add the lid back on and let it sit for another 5 minutes. Don't worry! This process won't cause over-extraction.
• After 5 minutes, lower the plunger to the surface of the coffee and serve.

Huma Tips:

• Always remember to clean your coffee maker. Keep in mind that coffee residue often remains in the filter and can damage the new one.
• For a good result, the quality of the coffee and the grind are always important. If you don't have a grinder, you can order our specialty coffee, ideal for a French Press.
• Don't stop experimenting and practicing to find what best suits your taste.
