Detailed step-by-step description of how to cook the dish "Plunger coffee". Try it by all means
- It is important to warm your coffee plunger before use to stop the boiling water losing heat when it comes into contact with cold glass. Fill a 6-cup plunger (this is sold as a 6-cup plunger but it actually holds 4 cups/1L of liquid) with hot water and set aside.
- Let the boiling water stand for 1 minute - pouring boiling water over the coffee could burn it, which would give you a cup of coffee with a bitter taste.
- While the boiling water stands, pour the hot water out of the plunger. Place the medium-grind coffee in the base of the glass beaker (this will result in a medium-strength cup of coffee). If you use a fine grind of coffee, the plunger may be difficult to push down into the pot and you may end up with coffee granules in your brew.
- Pour the hot water over the coffee, leaving about 2.5cm gap at the top. Use a spoon to stir the coffee. Replace the plunger (but don't yet push it down) and set aside for 3-5 minutes to brew. The longer you leave the coffee to stand, the stronger the coffee will be.
- Slowly push down the plunger. If you push the plunger down too quickly, the grains can come up the sides.
