French Press
Yes, a French Press is fantastic for brewing your yerba, mate. Our standard is an 8 cup French Press. Keep in mind an 8 cup French Press holds a little less than one liter or 33 ounces.
- Remove the lid of the French press and remove the round filter and shaft.
- Scoop out three tablespoons of yerba mate and place in the bottom of the French Press.
- Pour your preheated water (180°F or 82°C) into the French Press. Pour enough water into the French Press until the level is about one inch from the pour spout.
- Place the bottom of the French Press screen and plunger rod and lid on top of the yerba mate floating on the water, without depressing the plunger rod and filter.
- Depress the plunger rod 1” where the filter is holding the yerba mate just under the water.
- Allow steeping for 3 minutes. After three minutes, push the plunger rod and filter to the bottom.
Pour your freshly brewed yerba mate into your cup of choice and enjoy.
