French Press Coffee

Also known as plunger coffee maker

His creation is still under discussion among the Italians and the French.
It is said that it was created in 1850 at the hands of the Italians, who already had a few years later the espresso machine and the moka express, granted the French this coffee machine.

How coffee is prepared in it:

• First of all we have to have our micelle, which is not more than our coffee blend.
  • A clear toasting.
  • 10 grams of coarse ground coffee, arabica species as a recommendation.
• A stopwatch
• Filtered or potable water at 92 ° C
• Palette or long spoon

We put the coffee and proceed to pour a constant and fine flow of water, moving the flow clockwise to submerge all the coffee. Then, with the paddle or spoon, turbulence is created in the coffee for about 10 seconds.
10 grams of coffee per 180 ml of water

Close with the piston raised and wait for about 4 minutes.
The chronometer is used to be accurate over time

After spending 4 minutes, proceed to slowly and steadily lower the piston, so that the coffee is in the bottom.

Immediately after the piston has been lowered, it is served in the cups or emptied into a container.
If this is not done, the coffee will remain in contact with the water and the result will be a bitter drink.

The result in cup

• Depending on the coffee that has been used, the coffee will have a slight bitterness, since a coarse grind is used.
• Your acid will be balanced.
• You will feel small coffee residue, but this will not make it unpleasant.
• You will have much more caffeine than a typical espresso, since you will have more contact time with water.

I hope and you like this way of preparing coffee.
