Step 1: Put 25g of coffee into the french press. Add 50g of hot water, just under boiling and let it sit for 30 seconds or so.

Step 2: Add another 300g of water. Put the lid on but do not plunge. We're never going to plunge. This agitates the coffee too much and makes it bitter.

Step 3: Wait 1 minute then break the crust that's inevitably formed at the top by gently using a spoon or stir stick.

Step 4: After another minute, pour the coffee out through the filter, but again, we're not plunging.
