French Press (Cafetiere Immersion Coffee)
V60 Pour-Over Filter Coffee
French Press is full-immersion brewing using coarse grounds steep in 92–96°C water for 4–5 minutes before metal mesh filtration. It produces a heavy-bodied cup with 1.30–1.60% TDS containing natural coffee lipids and cafestol diterpenes.
V60 filter coffee is gravity percolation through a 60-degree conical paper filter. Using a 1:16.7 brew ratio (15g coffee to 250g water at 92–96°C) over 2.5–3.5 minutes, it produces a crystal-clear cup with 1.25–1.45% TDS and high clarity.
