Drinks to Try in Your CAPRA PRESS

THE CAPRA COLD BREW

  1. Measure out and grind your coffee beans. Use an extra coarse grind – this will help to prevent over-extraction during the extended immersion time.
  2. Add your grounds and cold water to the CAPRA PRESS. It will take some experimentation to find the perfect coffee grounds to water ratio for your taste. A good place to start is 1:17, as in 1 gram of coffee grounds to every 17 grams of water.
  3. Stir your grounds in the water to fully submerge.
  4. Place your PRESS in the fridge and let brew for 12 to 24 hours.
  5. Lower the plunger on the CAPRA PRESS – and voila! Your cold brew is ready to drink. Add a couple of ice cubes and enjoy.

TOP TIP: The longer you let your coffee brew in the fridge, the stronger it will be. If you like a strong cup, go for the 24 hour brew length.

THE GOAT PARTEA 

You see what I did there? I'm sure you see what I did there. 

  1. Measure out your loose-leaf tea leaves.
  2. Add your leaves and boiling water to the CAPRA PRESS. Again, it will take some experimentation to find the right ratio for your taste, but 3 grams of tea leaves for every 250 millilitres of water seems to be about right for most people.
  3. Stir your leaves into the water to fully submerge.
  4. Let your PRESS brew for 2 to 5 minutes. Some rules of thumb are 2 minutes for green tea, 3 minutes for white tea, and 5 minutes for black tea.
  5. Lower the plunge on the CAPRA PRESS and presto, enjoy your perfectly steeped tea!

TOP TIP: If you like a stronger tea, add more tea leaves instead of steeping for longer, as this will only extract more tannins making the tea bitter.

THE CAPRA CLASSIC

  1. Measure out and grind your coffee beans. Like a traditional French Press, the CAPRA PRESS is designed to work best with a coarse grind.
  2. Add your grounds and boiling water to the PRESS. Use a coffee grounds to water ratio of 1 gram of coffee grounds to every 7 grams of water unless you have a preferred ratio.
  3. Stir your grounds in the water to fully submerge.
  4. Let your PRESS brew for 4 minutes.
  5. Lower the plunger on the CAPRA PRESS and experience the CAPRA magic.

TOP TIP: Use a conical burr grinder instead of a blade grinder to grind your coffee beans, as conical burrs are much more effective at producing consistent grind sizes.
