Palmpress

MAKING COFFEE

Here are the variables you can control and tweak, to hand-brew your perfect cup of coffee:

INGREDIENTS

Water is the most abundant ingredient in your coffee. Opt for a pure-tasting filtered water so that your cup tastes as clean as possible. And of course, use coffee that you like! See the Choosing Coffee section on what to consider.

GRIND

Choose the right grind size for your coffee-brewing method

The recommended grind size varies from coffeemaker to coffeemaker because of differing filter types, brewing techniques, etc. For Palmpress use a medium grind size, which falls between fine espresso grounds and coarse French press grounds.

For fresher coffee, grind your own

For the freshest taste, grind only the amount of coffee you need just before brewing. Opt for a burr grinder which produces more accurate and consistent results than blade grinders. Uniform coffee particles = even extraction of coffee = better tasting coffee.

Storing

Store your coffee at room temperature in an airtight container, away from light, heat, and moisture.

MEASURING

Coffee is a dry ingredient, and dry ingredients are best measured by weight as they vary in shape and size. Although it’s totally fine to measure your coffee with a spoon or scoop if that’s your preference, consider measuring your coffee using a food scale for a more consistent taste cup to cup.

RATIO

A coffee’s strength and caffeine content is best measured as the ratio of coffee to water. The higher the coffee-to-water ratio, the more concentrated and stronger your cup will be. Experiment with ratios that suit your taste!

BREWING

We aim for a balanced cup of coffee, and below are tips to help achieve just that. We want to avoid an under-extracted or over-extracted cup, which can yield unpleasant flavors.

Use water at the correct temperature

For hot coffee, use approximately 200°F (93°C) water, which is about a minute off boil. For other types of coffee, refer to the water temperature that the recipe calls for.

Ensure even saturation

Gently stir the coffee and water mixture to ensure it’s evenly saturated.

Brew for a sufficient amount of time

For Palmpress we recommend that you start with a three-minute brew time, and tweak to your taste from there. Just like cooking anything else, you control how long it’s cooked for until it’s just right. Good to know: The larger the grind size the more brewing time may be desired, and vice versa.

Awesome product!

A dear friend gave me one for Christmas 2 years ago. I use it every morning! Makes a great cup of coffee, easy to use and easy to clean.! Now sharing the love and gifting to others.

Thank you, Donna!

Exactly what I need

Made a great tasting single cup of coffee. Been drinking instant coffee as I only have one cup a day - not worth the hassle of using my French press. Palm Press is exactly what I need to make that one cup special! May try it with CrioBru cacao, too!

Thanks, Julia!

Thanks, Barbara!

Awesome improvement!

I loved the Palmpress and previously had 3 of these, one at home,at work and in my camper. They all had an issue of the plastic ring cracking. Even then I recently ordered 2 more as gifts. To my surprise they have fixed the problem and made it more durable than ever! Thank you guys! It shows how you listen to customers and improve your product. Wish you a Happy successful new year!

Rajiv, we’re so honored you chose the Palmpress for gifts and that you noticed the improvement! Thank you for the lovely review!

Lot’s to Like

The new Green Bean color is cool. I have Palmpress 1 so I confidently assembled. This keeps the brew a just right temperature. Easy no spill pour to my cup. And easier visually to clean out the ground coffee.

Thank you, Donna!
