Barista & Co Core Coffee Press

Why We Love It:

Excellent Velvety Coffee

Using a metal filter, this cafetiere creates an excellent velvety coffee with a rich mouthfeel. You can expect a coffee with a heavy body, typical of what you’d expect from specialty cafetiere coffee.

Sustainable Coffee Maker

The cafetiere is made from high-grade 304 stainless steel and thermal shock-tested borosilicate glass. The design is plastic free and spare parts are available if accidents happen so it will never go to a landfill.

Ergonomic and Easy to Clean

We designed this coffee press with a large glass handle which is comfortable to hold when full of hot coffee. The Barista & Co statement knob on the plunger offers greater stability. It also allows the filter to be removed easily for cleaning.

Protected from Knocks

The stainless steel base protects the glass beaker from breakage. It’s easy to remove so that you can wash your beaker in the dishwasher.

Ingredients and Tools:

• Filter ground coffee
• Hot water
• Core Coffee Press
• Stirring utensil
• Timer

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Measure Coffee:
   • Use a filter ground coffee for French Press brewing. A general guideline is to use a coffee-to-water ratio of 1:15 or 1:16. For example, for every 1 gram of coffee, use 15-16 grams of water.
2. Preheat your Core Coffee Press:
   • Pour a small amount of hot water into the French Press to preheat it. Swirl the water around, and then discard it.
3. Add Coffee:
   • Add the measured coffee grounds to the bottom of the Coffee Press.
4. Add Hot Water:
   • Heat water to just below boiling (around 93°C). Pour the hot water over the coffee grounds, ensuring even saturation. Use a pouring kettle or milk pitcher for better control.
5. Stir and Bloom:
   • Stir the coffee-water mixture gently with a wooden or plastic utensil to ensure all grounds are saturated. Allow it to bloom for about 30 seconds.
6. Attach Lid and Plunge:
   • Attach the lid to the cafetiere without pressing down the plunger. Let the coffee steep for the desired time (typically 4-6 minutes).
7. Plunge:
   • After steeping, slowly press down the plunger, separating the coffee grounds from the liquid.
8. Pour and Serve:
   • Pour the brewed coffee into your favourite mug.

Tips:

• Experiment with the coffee-to-water ratio to find your preferred strength.
• Use fresh, high-quality coffee beans for the best flavour.
• Start with clean equipment to avoid any lingering flavours from previous brews.

By following these steps, you can enjoy a rich and flavourful cup of coffee using any coffee press. Adjustments can be made based on personal taste preferences. Still having troubles? Check out our guide to brewing with a cafetiere.
