Does it affect the taste too much if you put the top on with the plunge down just a little bit? That’s what I usually do when doing cofe, but then it’s just five minutes so probably doesn’t affect as much.
Imho: Be generous with the amount of coffe, don’t let it sit but very slowly start pressing almost right away.
Gives a rich flavor low in bitterness but high in caffeine.
I also use espresso beans for this technique just because it tastes better for me.
Side note: personally I prefer this coffee with a generous amount of (this is not) milk
I haven’t tested the taste doing it that way. I didn’t think it was a good idea to have the metal soak in it both because of taste but more importantly because of any damage it might do to the metal soaking for so long. I could just be superstitious though. I do put the pot on immediately when doing hot brew.
