How to Make the Perfect French Press Coffee
A classic in the world of coffee brewing, the French Press offers a full-bodied and richly textured coffee experience. With a simple yet refined design, the French Press captures the essence of quality and sophistication, transforming your daily coffee ritual into a luxurious moment.
The French Press method allows for an unfiltered, robust brew that highlights the depth and character of Tonino Lamborghini’s premium coffee blends.
French Press Instructions
1
Add one heaping tablespoon (about 8 grams) of Lamborghini medium-coarse coffee grounds for every 6.7 oz (200 ml) of water, or use a 1:12 coffee-to-water ratio.
2
Pour hot water (just below boiling, around 200°F) over the grounds in the pot, then give a gentle stir.
3
Reinsert the plunger, stopping just above the water and coffee grounds. Let the coffee steep for 4 minutes to allow the flavors to bloom fully.
4
Slowly press the plunger down with even pressure to separate the grounds from the coffee.
5
Pour and savor immediately.
Rinse the French Press thoroughly after each use to maintain quality.
