Pret Cafetiere Guide
Ever wondered how to make the perfect cafetiere? Our coffee pro Jonny is here to make it easy (like a Sunday morning)… Classic Blend at the ready
Step 1
Place your cafetiere on a kitchen scale, set to 0 and begin to add your coffee grounds. I recommend working to a ratio of 60g per litre of water, so 15g (or roughly one tablespoon) per 250ml cup.
Step 2
Boil the kettle and add the water to your cafetiere, keeping to the above ratios. Immediately stir with a spoon to make sure all the coffee grounds mix with the water. Rest the lid on top, but hold off on plunging just yet. Set a timer for 4 minutes and leave your coffee to brew.
Step 3
After 4 minutes, remove the lid & stir again. Then use the spoon to skim off any floating coffee grinds and oils off the surface of the coffee. Whilst this sounds like a bit of a faff, it makes your cofee taste less 'muddy' and makes it easier for you to plunge!
Step 4
Place the lid back on and plunge - but only halfway! Allow the coffee to rest for 5 minutes (we promise it's worth the wait!) before pouring.
Step 5
Pour, sip and enjoy!
