Notes

Really a cupping bowl in a press: stirring the grounds down and skimming the pale foam gives a very clean, sediment-free cup. Don't fit the plunger until after you've skimmed, and serve straight away — the coffee keeps extracting as long as it sits on the grounds. Best with light to medium roasts.
