MAKING GREAT COFFEE DOESN’T NEED EXPENSIVE KIT OR MASSES OF SPECIALIST KNOWLEDGE, BUT A LITTLE ADVICE WILL ENSURE YOU BREW A FLAVOURFUL, AROMATIC CUP EVERY TIME
Best for bold, rich coffee
This method steeps grounds in hot water in a pot before pushing down a built-in plunger-filter that separates the grounds from the liquid. It makes a robust brew with a rich flavour because the water stays in contact with the coffee for longer, and more of the oils, fine particles and aromatics are retained. Use a coarse grind (medium to dark roast) – too fine and the particles clog the filter, and the resulting brew may taste bitter. When adding water, stir to ensure the grounds are distributed evenly then steep for around four minutes and don’t leave it for too long, otherwise the coffee will taste bitter. Once ready, slowly press the plunger all the way down, Serve the coffee immediately. If you don’t want to drink straight away then pour into a carafe or pot.
