The French Press is generally known for its inexpensive and easy-to-follow method. While most brewing methods consist of water filtering through coffee grounds, this method involves the coffee and water steeping together. This gives the coffee a consistent flavour and extraction.

The water to coffee ratio can always be adjusted according to your taste, we recommend 60g per 1000ml of water (2 heaped dessert spoons per cup).
