2. Weight out 30g of Big Black Coffee & Grind COARSE following the instructions of your Grinder.

3. Place French Press on top of your Scale and Tare to Zero.
   Add the Ground Coffee to your French Press, tapping to make sure all of the coffee grounds are sitting flat.

   When ready, start the Timer and gently pour ~450g of water in a circular motion & make sure there are no dry grounds.

5. Place the lid of the French Press back on top to prevent heat loss, but do not push the press down.

   DO NOT PRESS TOO QUICKLY.

7. Immediately Pour all of the Coffee into Mugs or a Carafe to avoid Over Extraction.

Pro Tip:
Skim off foam before plunging for a cleaner cup. Make sure to time your slow, circular stirring as to not over agitate the grounds.
