How to brew the perfect cup of coffee
Step one
Measure your beans, use around 2 tbsp’s for a single cup of coffee. A medium grind is ideal for filter coffee and a fine grind is best for espresso.
Step two
For cafetieres try 1 tablespoon (15g) of coffee per cup (250ml). Don’t use boiling water as that will burn your coffee, leave it to cool for about a minute or so after reaching max temperature.
Step three
Pour the water in circular motion to ensure all the grounds are coated with water.
Step four
Brew for 4 minutes then plunge slowly. Let the coffee settle and enjoy
