Recipe
Ingredients
- 24g Uganda Coffee Shop coffee
- 360ml filtered water at 93C
- French press
- Timer
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Add the coffee to the French press and place it on a stable surface.
- Pour all the water over the grounds, stir gently once, and place the lid on without pressing.
- Steep for 4 minutes, then skim excess foam from the top if desired.
- Press the plunger down slowly and pour immediately to prevent over-extraction.
Tips for Best Results
- Use a coarse grind to keep the cup smooth and avoid bitterness.
- If serving later, decant the coffee into another vessel instead of leaving it in the press.
- A short stir at the beginning helps improve even extraction.
Variations
- Add 20 to 30ml warm milk for a softer breakfast cup.
- Use slightly less water for a stronger, richer body.
