French Press
Thorne and Thatchs' Roaster Notes
In Boot Hill, we don’t rush a good thing and coffee’s no exception. The French Press is how we slow the world down just long enough to taste what patience and time can do before they slip away. It’s a simple tool, sure, but in the right hands, it turns good beans into something worth remembering.
​
Every batch we roast starts with top shelf beans grown on the southern slopes of the Verdant Veil, hand-picked at their prime, and roasted in small batches under a skillful eye. We wait for that soft crack… the bean’s swan song. A fleeting hymn before it surrenders to the flame and becomes something rich, decadent, and extraordinary.
​
The French Press lets that story pour through untouched. With no paper filter to strip the oils or dull the flavor, you get a brew that’s bold and honest. The kind that lingers a while after it’s gone. The process is simple… grind, pour, wait, and pour again. When done right, it yields a cup as smooth as it is deep, the kind that makes the world outside fade away… if only for a moment.

Thorne and Thatch's Guide to: French Press
​
-
30 g (about 5 tablespoons) of coffee
-
500 g (about 2 cups) of hot water (just off boil)
-
A French press
-
Two spoons — one to stir, one to skim
What you'll Need:
​Method​​
1. Grind Your Coffee
Grind to a medium setting about like table salt.
Add your coffee to the French press.
​
2. Add Hot Water
Bring water to a boil, then let it rest for about 30 seconds (195F-205F).
Pour all 500 g (2 cups) over the grounds. Start your timer.
​
3. Let It Sit for 4 Minutes
Don’t stir or press yet. Just let the coffee bloom and steep.
​
4. Stir & Skim
After 4 minutes, stir gently to break the crust on top.
Use your spoon to skim off any foam or floating grounds.
​
5. Rest Again for 4- 5 Minutes
Let the coffee sit while the grounds settle to the bottom.
This step keeps your cup clean and smooth.
​
6. Press Gently
Lower the plunger just until it touches the surface… don’t push it all the way down. The screen will act as a filter.
​
7. Pour Slowly
Pour gently into your mug, leaving the last bit in the press... that’s where the sludge hides.
