Preheat the press and metal filter with hot water. Start with freshly ground medium-course with a ratio of 1 part coffee to 15 parts water. Or for a common 1-liter French press like this one, use around 60 grams coffee to start, adding more or less depending on the strength level you prefer.
Fill the press about ¼ of the way with just-off-boiling water. Give it a gentle stir to ensure all of the coffee is saturated.
Then continue filling the press until the scale reads 900g, and set the plunger gently on top.
Start a 4-minute timer as soon as you’ve added the coffee. At 4 minutes, press the plunger to the bottom of the carafe. Decant and enjoy.
