Coffee

French press

Use coarsely ground beans, like sea-salt or bread crumbs.

Lazy method

• Pour 180g of boiling water per 10g of coffee grounds.
• 4 minute steep.
• Plunge and serve.

The more elaborate Hoffman method

• Pour 500g of boiling water over 30g of coffee grounds.
• Wait 5 minutes.
• Stir the grounds to break the crust at the top.
• Scoop foam and any floating grounds from the press.
• Wait five minutes to allow the remaining grounds to settle.
• Plunge the filter only to the top of the liquid. This prevents disturbing the settled grounds.
• Serve.

This supposedly results in a cleaner cup of coffee with less sludge.
