French Press 8 Cup

Clean Decant

Barista 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.

Notes

At 4 min, break the crust gently and skim floating grounds without stirring the lower bed. Let fines settle fully, then decant through the raised mesh or spout with no plunge and stop before sediment enters the cup.
