How to brew using a Cafetière
Almost every house has a cafetiere somewhere in the cupboard and most supermarkets sell them. It’s a classic coffee brewing method and a fool proof way to express what coffee really tastes like without having to complicate the brew.

- Boiling water (filtered is ideal) and extra for rinsing the cafetière
Instructions
1. Clean the cafetiere with boiling water. Let the water sit for a minute to heat up the glass so you don’t lose the heat once you start to brew
2. Discard the used water and tip your ground coffee into the cafetiere
3. Fill the cafetiere to the top with water just off the boil and set a timer
4. Give the cafetiere a good stir making sure all the coffee floating and resting on the bottom becomes incorporated

6. Plunge the coffee then pour out to serve
