COFFEE BREWING BEST PRACTICES
– It’s easy to brew coffee in our Mueller French Press Coffee Maker. Refer to
the chart on Page 7 to adjust your water to coffee ratio. Experiment to find
the mild, stronger, and strongest coffee brew that best suits your
preferences.
– If there is too much resistance when you plunge, your grounds are too fine.
Not enough resistance means the grounds are too coarse. You may need to grind
your beans differently for a better cup of coffee.
– Mueller offers several coffee grinding products, from professional burr
grinders to compact spice/coffee grinders to handheld grinders, if you do not
already have a reliable grinder.
– Make sure your Plunger and the Carafe are clean whenever you make a new
batch of coffee. Lingering coffee sediment can change the taste of your
coffee.
– Always hold the Carafe Handle firmly when slowly pushing down or removing
the Plunger.
– When filling the Carafe, leave a minimum of 1 in of space between the water
and the spout.
– We recommend decanting your coffee before serving it. The longer your coffee
sits in the Carafe with the grounds, the more flavor will be extracted.
– When pouring, hold the Carafe Handle firmly with the spout turned away from
you (see Step 8).
CAUTION
Use only coarse ground coffee. Fine grind can clog the Filter and create high
pressure. Place French Press on a heat proof, non-slip surface.
Brew Like a Barista (an Alternate Step 5)
– Pour a small amount of hot water onto the grounds (a 1:1 ratio of water to
grounds), barely over the grounds.
– Stir and wait for 30 seconds.
– Pour in the remaining hot water to fill the Carafe (up to 1 in from the
spout).
– Stir again.
WARNING
Using excessive force can cause scalding liquid to shoot out of the pot.
DISASSEMBLING PLUNGER
Hold the Plunger as shown below with the top cap pressed against your palm.
Firmly grip the Plunger pole and unscrew the Filter section to disassemble.
COFFEE BREWING TIPS & FAQS
Our Mueller French Press Coffee Maker keeps your coffee hot a full hour longer
than a regular glass press. Expect a robust, full-bodied mouthful from this
vacuum-insulated and double-filtered French Press.
Freshly ground coffee beans make the best cup of coffee. Be sure to use medium
to coarse-ground coffee. Since you control the length of steeping time – and
the coffee ground grind size – you can control the strength of your coffee.
Want it stronger? Steep it longer.
How Can I Control the Coffee Flavor?
With a French Press, you control the coffee ground size and the steep time. Adjusting these things will change the coffee strength and overall flavor. Experiment to find what’s right for you. See chart on Page 7 for details.
What Is Immersion Brewing?
Using immersion brewing, our Mueller French Press Coffee Maker soaks the grounds in hot water for a few minutes, rather than a few seconds like a drip coffee maker. This produces a more full-bodied and robust flavor for a stronger coffee.
What About Water Temperature?
When brewing coffee, you want the water temperature to be just under the boiling point or as close to 205°F (96°C) as possible.
Why Preheat?
Preheating the Carafe with hot water helps the French Press maintain the brewing temperature during steeping. It also prevents shock and keeps your coffee hot a little longer.
Is It Dishwasher Safe?
Clean the Plunger unit after each use. It is not necessary to disassemble the Filter, Lid and Plunger. All parts are dishwasher safe.
