50 GRAMS COFFEE | 800 GRAMS WATER | 6:00 BREW TIME
The French press is a classic brew method, removing many of the variables that can result in poor extraction. Because it is an immersion brew method, the amount of coffee and water can be easily increased or decreased--just ensure the ratio of coffee to water (1:16) remains the same.
