In this recipe we are going to cover how to properly brew yourself a cup of Rooted Roast coffee using a Pour Over Kit.

Items Needed

  • 34oz French Press. You can find this here
  • Kettle for heating water 

Portions

  • 3.5 cups of water (800ml) 5 heaping teaspoons (1.91oz, 54g) of coffee.

Summary: 

  1. Begin by heating the water to just under boiling, about 206 degrees.  
  2. Warm up your press by pouring a little of your hot water in and swirling it around; then discard this water. (optional)  
  3. Add the ground coffee into the press and fill it about half way up and lightly stir. Set a timer for 1 min.  
  4. When the timer goes off, lightly stir the French press again and fill it with the rest of your hot water. Set a timer for another 3-7 min. The longer you wait, the stronger the coffee will be. If you let it go too long, though, it may get bitter.
  5. When that timer goes off, gently press down the plunger, serve, and enjoy!

Best Practices: 

Use a plastic or wooden spoon to stir, this will lower the chances of cracking the glass.
