As part of Continental Coffee Month, today we’re looking at how to brew coffee with a cafetiere.
Using a cafetiere is one of the simplest ways to brew coffee. It really brings out the flavours, since the water is in constant contact with the coffee grains. This is in contrast to a drip filter which traps many of the essential oils. Since the coffee continues to brew after the press has been pushed down, the coffee will grow bitter and will last only about twenty minutes, so serve and drink immediately.
Below is an excellent video explaining the process:

The video below shows the very simple process:
