The Bodum Coffee Press, also known as a French press or press pot, is a popular and simple device used to make coffee. It's known for producing a rich and flavourful cup of coffee, highlighting the coffee beans' natural oils and flavours. Here's how it works and how to use it:
How it Works:
The Bodum Coffee Press operates on the principle of immersion brewing. Coarsely ground coffee beans are steeped in hot water, and after a few minutes, a plunger with a mesh filter is used to separate the coffee grounds from the liquid, resulting in a smooth and robust coffee.
How to Use:
Ingredients and Equipment:
- Coarsely ground coffee beans (about 1 to 2 tablespoons per 6 ounces of water)
- Hot water just off the boil (about 200°F or 93°C)
- Bodum Coffee Press (French press)
Preheat the Coffee Press:
- Pour hot water into the empty press to preheat it. This helps maintain the coffee's temperature during brewing.
Add Coffee Grounds:
- Add the desired amount of coarsely ground coffee beans to the preheated press.
Pour Hot Water:
- Pour hot water over the coffee grounds, ensuring that all grounds are saturated.
Stir and Steep:
- Stir the coffee and water mixture to ensure even saturation, then place the lid on the press and let the coffee steep for about 4 minutes. Adjust steeping time based on your preferred coffee strength.
Press Down the Plunger:
- After steeping, slowly press down the plunger using gentle and steady pressure. The mesh filter will separate the coffee grounds from the liquid.
Pour and Serve:
- Pour the brewed coffee into your cup and enjoy!
Cost:
The cost of a Bodum Coffee Press can vary based on the size, design, and material.
