Scott Rao's Floating Plunger French Press Recipe

Brew 15g of medium-ground coffee with 270g of water at 95°C using a French Press 3 Cup. Pour all the water briskly to wet the bed evenly without subsequent stirring, then rest the plunger screen just below the surface to retain heat during the 4 min steep. Press gently with minimal force, stopping if resistance rises, and decant immediately.
