Blade Biter
Something about equilibrium extraction (I forgot the exact term)?I was catching up on some podcasts yesterday. Oddly enough, one was Milk Street with James Hoffmann talking about coffee and his French press method. I'd heard of it but forgotten since I only occassionally use my French press these days.
He adds all the water at once and then does nothing for 5 minutes. Then, he stirs it to break the crust, scoops out the foam and other bits that float, and then again does nothing for another 5 minutes. After that, he lowers the plunger only to the top of the liquid and pours.
It's unusual, but many swear by it. Has anyone tried it?
I suppose it's understandable. I've experimented with 10+ minutes, not much to be gained from 4 minutes to be honest.
