2. Pre-heat the French Press by rinsing with hot water.
3. Add ground coffee to coffee plunger. Your grind should be coarse, larger than sand granules.
4. Pour 100ml of water into the plunger and stir to saturate the grinds. Try to ensure that all grounds are wet.
5. Pour the remaining water, 650ml into the plunger and stir again.

Tip: 60g of coffee to 1L of water is the recommended plunger coffee ratio, depending on the size of your plunger / French Press, your ratio of coffee to water will need to be adjusted. E.g. 15g for a 250ml sized plunger.
