  1. Grind 20g medium ground coffee - this is a good place to start and then experiment how fine you like it according to taste. Finer grind will lead to more body and there is more resistance when you plunge. You might also like to change the volume of coffee too.

  3. Add the ground coffee. Give a little tap to flatten the coffee bed. Pour 175ml water. Stir to ensure all the coffee is included in the immersion

  4. After one and a half minutes to two minutes, gently depress the plunger. This should be done slowly - takes around for 30 seconds.

  5. Taste and if necessary add up to 75ml water and stir.

Drink Up!
