Notes

Preheat the press by filling with hot water for 1 minute, then discard. The 12-cup press has significant heat loss due to its large glass surface. Never leave coffee sitting in the press after plunging. For a party, brew 10-15 minutes before guests arrive and transfer to an insulated carafe. The 1400g of water accounts for headroom below the mesh.
