Pour hot water into the French Press to warm it up, then discard the water. - Add Coffee:
Place the 30g of ground coffee into the preheated French Press. - Pour the Water:
Slowly add 450ml of water. Stir gently to ensure the grounds are evenly saturated. - Steep:
Place the lid on the French Press, but don’t plunge yet. Let the coffee steep for 4 minutes. - Plunge:
After 4 minutes, press the plunger down slowly and steadily. - Serve:

Moka Pot Brewing Guide
Brewing Instructions:
- Coffee Dose: 20g of finely ground coffee (slightly coarser than espresso grind).
- Water: Fill the bottom chamber of the Moka Pot with water, up to the safety valve.
Brewing Method:
- Grind the Coffee:
Use a fine grind, slightly coarser than espresso, for the Moka Pot to avoid over-extraction. - Prepare the Moka Pot:
Fill the bottom chamber with water, just below the safety valve. Insert the filter basket. - Add Coffee:
Fill the filter basket with 20g of ground coffee. Level the surface but do not tamp the coffee down. - Assemble the Moka Pot:
Screw the top and bottom chambers together tightly. - Heat:
Place the Moka Pot on medium heat. As the water heats up, it will create pressure, pushing the water through the coffee grounds into the top chamber. - Watch for the Brew:
When you hear a hissing sound and see coffee filling the top chamber, the brewing process is almost complete. - Remove from Heat:
Once you hear a bubbling sound, remove the Moka Pot from the heat to avoid burning the coffee. - Serve:
Pour the brewed coffee into your cup and enjoy.
