French Press Technique

A little video about french press technique.

Hey james, What is the total elapsed time for the brewing including the brew, scraping and plunging. Have to admit, I am personally not a much over 3 min. total, guy. I prefer a tighter grind with less time. I find that I get a clearer picture of what the coffee tastes like and that it doesn’t seem over extracted. I do stir but clearing the blume… Never thought of that. Kinda like the reverse press pot if you’ve seen that. However, your reputation does precede you so I will most certainly entertain your thoughts and experience. I really appreciate the scale to measure the water idea. Perfect! I usually preheat a measuring cup then measure out the water for accuracy and wait till it drops to the right temp to pour into the pot but this will save so much time and give me one less dish to wash.
