Notes
The standard approach for a quick, reliable French press cup. Bloom step at the beginning ensures even saturation. Critical: pour all coffee out immediately after pressing. If left in the press, extraction continues and coffee becomes bitter. Pour slowly in circles during the bloom to avoid disturbing fine sediment.
