1. Preheat the press pot with hot water. Pour out the water.

2. Add freshly ground coffee to the pot and pour in freshly boiled water.

3. Stir so that all the coffee is moistened.

4. Fit the lid with the plunger, but do not press it down.

5. Let the coffee steep for about 4 minutes.

6. Press down the plunger and serve immediately.

If you want a cleaner and sweeter brew, you can skim off the coffee when it has finished steeping before pressing down on the plunger. Use a spoon and push in the coffee crust. As the coffee grounds sink, a white foam will come to the surface. Use the spoon to remove it. Replace the plunger and press down.
