Two-Stage Fill

French Press 3 Cup French press by Stumptown Coffee Roasters

Stumptown Coffee Roasters' French press guide fills the brewer in two stages, with a mid-brew stir before the remaining water. The approach promotes saturation and a robust, even cup with the rounded body expected from coarse-ground immersion.

Notes

Aim for an even breadcrumb-like grind. During the first fill, check the edges for dry clumps; at 1 min, stir through the crust without scraping the base, then add the remaining water gently. At 4 min, press with steady pressure and decant every drop into another vessel.
