• The French Press

• The French press is a simple and affordable brewing method that produces a rich and full-bodied cup of coffee that has become our favorite at home go to. Here's how to use a French press:
• Coarsely grind coffee beans (medium to coarse grind).
• Add the coffee grounds to the French press carafe.
• Pour hot water (just below boiling point) over the grounds.
• Stir the coffee gently to ensure even extraction.
• Place the plunger on top of the carafe but do not press it down.
• Allow the coffee to steep for about 4 minutes.
• Slowly press the plunger down to separate the coffee grounds from the liquid.
• Pour the brewed coffee into cups and enjoy.

•  The AeroPress

• It’s versatile! It’s compact! This little brewing device allows you to experiment with different brewing techniques, we take it everywhere we go cause it fits in your pocket basically (it would require a pretty large pocket though). Here's a basic method for using the AeroPress:
• Place a paper filter in the AeroPress cap and rinse it with hot water to eliminate any paper taste.
• Attach the cap with the filter to the brewing chamber and place it on top of a sturdy cup.
• Add finely ground coffee (medium grind) to the brewing chamber.
• Pour hot water (around 175-185°F or 80-85°C) over the coffee and stir gently for a few seconds.
• After stirring, insert the plunger into the chamber and press down slowly but firmly.
• The entire brewing process typically takes about 1-2 minutes.
• Dilute the brewed coffee with hot water or add milk and sugar as per your taste.
