Coffee Bean Measurements for French Press

Coffee Bean Measurements for French Press

Ken Feighner
Sep 24|22:39


A warning though, I do like my coffee on the rich side, so I will give you a light , medium and Coffeeken measurments.

The coffee scoop that I use is a 1/8 cup measurement or 30ml of whole beans and I do not level the cup, it is rounded, that makes up the difference when you grind the beans.

Next, set your coffee grinder on the largest grind that it has.

Then start measuring out the amount of beans that you will need and put into the hopper of the grinder, be it a cone, burr or blade grinder

3 cup press, 12 oz, or 300 ml
Light: 2 scoops level, or 60 ml of whole beans.
Medium: 2 scoops, well rounded or 60 ml of whole beans
Coffeeken: 2 1/2 scoops, well rounded or 75ml of whole beans
41/2 cup press, 20 oz, or 600 ml
Light: 3 scoops level, or 90 ml of whole beans
Medium: 3 scoops, well rounded or 90 ml of whole beans
Coffeeken: 3 1/2 scoops, well rounded or 105 ml of whole beans
8 cup press, 32oz, or 1000ml
Light: 6 scoops level or 180 ml of whole beans
Medium: 7 scoops of well rounded or 210 ml of whole beans
Coffeeken: 71/2 scoops of well rounded or 225 ml of whole beans.
12cup press, 48oz or 1500 ml
Light: 9 scoops level or 270 ml of whole beans
Medium: 10 scoops well rounded or 300 ml of whole beans
Coffeeken: 11 scoops well rounded 330 ml of whole beans
Grind your beans, put the coffee grounds in the french press, heat your water to almost a boil, pour your water in, let is steep for 4 minutes break the bloom after 2-3 minutes has gone by, gently push the press down and enjoy!

What about Tiffin service in Sequim?

What would you include in the tiffin. At least three items that do not need to be refrigerated for this "thought experiment".

[Tiffin often consists of rice, dal, curry, vegetables, chapatis or "spicy meats".
In addition, the lunch boxes are themselves called tiffin carriers, tiffin-boxes or sometimes tiffins.]

Hummus, Arabian Style (w/ yogurt)

1 can chickpeas, drained
1 small plain yogurt
2-3 tablespoons of tahini (sesame seeds ground w/ olive oil)
1-3 cloves garlic
lemon juice to taste
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper
Garnish:
olive oil, olives

Combine all ingredients in a blender. Stop blender and stir the batter well from time to time. Spread hummus on serving plate, garnish with olive oil, olives. Good on toast.

Roast Chicken; Plain

Dry the skin. Remove wishbone, as it is easier to carve later. Salt the cavity. Truss the birds legs close to breast. Fold wings under to prop up bird in pan, and/or use some rolled foil to prop it up...off bottom of pan.

Salt exterior of bird. Oven at 425 F. Put bird in pan, up and off pan's bottom. Put in oven and cook for 20-25 minutes until skin begins to turn color.

Drop heat to 375 and cook for another 35 minutes. Tip the chicken. Red juices will run out. Close oven and cook until less red juice runs out and juices will be darker. Do this again. When done, the juices will be dark, cooked red with some gray. Take out the chicken, let it rest, uncovered, then carve.

-From Jonathan Dixon's book.
