Brewing Tip TO REMEMBER
BREWING TIP NO. 1: When stirring the coffee, make sure to keep the rotations and time of the stir consistent.
More or less agitation will affect the extraction rate of the coffee.
BREWING TIP NO. 2: When pressing the plunger top down, hold the lid in place and make sure the filter disk is not going down crooked. This will cause stray coffee to be released into your brew. Pour and serve your coffee right away. It will continue to brew if left in the french press.
GRIND TIP: All grinders will produce a mix of course and ne particles - none are perfect, however, burr grinders produce far more uniformity. If your resulting cup is too strong and/or bitter, adjust your grind slightly coarser. If it is too weak and/or sour, adjust slightly finer.
