Skimming Off
•
For all those who fi nd the coffee from the Coffee Press too
strong, skimming off is a good alternative. The body of the
coffee is a bit less, but this allows fl oral aromas to evolve
better. In addition, the acid level of the coffee changes, which
is a good option particularly for very acidic coffee types to
ensure that the coffee does not easily become over-acidic.
•
The skimming off takes place after the infusion time and
before pressing down the plunger. To do this, stir the coffee
around again and immediately skim off the top layer of froth
and ground material with the spoon.
Further Tips
•
Use a plastic or wooden spoon for stirring as a metal spoon
can change the fl avour and damage the glass jug.
•
Make sure that the plunger is always fi rmly screwed togeth-
er and does not wobble because otherwise coffee powder
can fl oat past it.
•
Always fi ll the jug up to the rim (350 ml) so that the quan-
tity ratio is right.
•
Preheat the glass jug and in particular your coffee cup with
hot water so that your coffee does not cool down too
quickly.
•
You can seal up coffee bags particularly reliably using the
coffee clip on the handle of the measuring spoon. This
allows you not only to preserve the aroma of the coffee
powder for longer, but you also always have the measuring
spoon to hand at the right moment.
