Plunger Brew Guide

EQUIPMENT

  • Cups
  • Timer
  • 350ml fresh water, preferrably heated to just before boiling
  • 22g of your favourite coffee, (3 – 14 days after roast, coarsely ground n.b. freshly ground is always superior)
PREP

Preheat the plunger (and your cups or jug) with hot water to prevent the brew from cooling.
Once your plunger’s warm, empty it out and add the coffee.
[ we use about 10g per 180ml; scale up here if you need to]

Add your hot water, stopping well short of the plunger’s brim, and stir briskly to soak the coffee and kick start extraction.
Stir for 2 minutes
