Pour-Over

One cup · about 3 minutes

You need

15 g coffee, medium-fine grind
250 g water, just off the boil (93–96 °C)
A pour-over cone and paper filter

Method

Rinse the filter with hot water and discard the water.
Add the coffee and pour 30 g of water to wet it. Wait 30–45 seconds (the bloom).
Pour the rest slowly in circles, reaching 250 g by about 2 minutes.
Let it drain. Total time about 3 minutes.

French Press

Two cups · about 5 minutes

You need

30 g coffee, coarse grind
500 g water, just off the boil
A French press

Method

Add the coffee and all the water. Stir once.
Put the lid on (plunger up) and steep for 4 minutes.
Stir the crust on top, skim off the foam, then press slowly.
Pour it all out right away so it doesn't keep brewing.
