Once you learn the science behind the French press, better cups of coffee await.
A French press is often treated like Jason Segal's character inHe's actually the one you want, but people tend to flock blindly to the flashy, temperamental types like coffee-siphon-somethings or Russell Brands. The French press is definitely a potential coffee happily-ever-after, but as with all things coffee, it ain't rocket science... but it is science! Let's delve a little deeper into how the French press works, and how you can make the best cup of coffee using this tool.
Wetting is the process of fully saturating the coffee grounds. Coffee grounds are made up of cells, and each of those cells holds some of the coffee solids that we want to extract. In fresh coffee, carbon dioxide gas is also trapped in those cells, and wetting releases that gas in a moment we call a"bloom."
The French press is a pretty different environment for coffee brewing. Drip or pourover brewing is a lot like a convection oven, where the convective heat speeds up the energy transfer in our little coffee chemistry set.
