Brewing Guides & Techniques

Brew sludge-free, consistent French press coffee in five minutes by integrating cleanup into the process. Use pre-measured ratios, a timed bloom and stir, and an immediate transfer to avoid bitterness and sink clogs - even in shared kitchens.

Learn the physics behind French press sludge and fix it with five simple steps: go coarser, minimize agitation, pause to let fines settle, plunge slowly, and decant right away. Get practical tweaks for home and trail setups to brew a cleaner, more consistent cup without fancy gear.

Master a clean, consistent French press by locking in a 1:15 coffee-to-water baseline and changing only one variable at a time. Get mug-by-mug ratios and straightforward guidance on grind, water, temperature, and pressing to reduce sludge.
