french press

French press coffee recipe

A calm immersion baseline. Keep all coffee submerged, disturb the crust gently and plunge without force. Decant promptly so the brew does not keep extracting against the grounds.

Evidence and limits

The 1:16.67 ratio, 94 °C water and five-minute sequence are CupTune-authored starting preferences. They are not a universal standard or a measured promise about sediment, strength or flavour.

What to hold steady

Keep dose, water, temperature, pouring pattern and filter preparation the same while testing one grind change.

What this cannot guarantee

Grinder distribution, roast, water chemistry and equipment geometry change the result. Record the actual brew rather than treating this recipe as a verdict.
