Clean Decant
Open in appBarista Hustle's cupping-style French press method skips the plunge and treats the carafe like a tasting bowl. Breaking and skimming the crust before a quiet settling period minimizes disturbed fines for an unusually clean, clear cup.

Definitions, ratios and protocols behind this recipe.
- French press The French press is the cleanest expression of the immersion idea: ground coffee, hot water, a metal mesh, and time. The mesh holds everything bigger than ~150 microns; everything smaller — fines and oils — passes into the cup. That single design choice is what gives the French press its character.
- How coffee is roasted Roasting is the chemistry that turns a green seed into something that tastes like coffee. A green bean is dense, vegetal, and sour — undrinkable in any meaningful sense. Heat applied for the right amount of time transforms it into the aromatic, brown, brewable thing on the shelf. Almost everything you taste in a finished cup was either created or shaped during the eight to fifteen minutes the bean spent inside a roaster.
