Moving on from the elegant Chemex, the French press is another captivating brewing method that the virtual coffee class explores.

This time-honored technique allows participants to truly enjoy the aromatic process. With a preparation time of 4 to 6 minutes and a thick grind, the French press promises a drink with greater body and depth of flavor.

The class guides students through the step-by-step ritual, emphasizing the importance of precise timing and water temperature. As the robust brew steeps, the anticipation builds, culminating in a remarkably flavorful cup that showcases the nuances of the Colombian beans.
