Brewing with Palmpress
So good for travel, we even use it at home.

From the creators of Palmpress:
“We're Jess, techHouse, and Clark, the coffee drinkers behind Palmpress. We're based in Miami, Brooklyn, and the UK. We believe coffee products should be less wasteful, more beautiful, and made with better-for-you materials.
The idea for Palmpress started as a way to improve our coffee routine, and it led us on a journey to learn about people and their day-to-day lives. We learned that good coffee is as much about the break you give yourself, or a familiar ritual when traveling, as it is about the quality of ingredients and brewing technique.”

18-20g coffee, which is about a 1:13 ratio, perfect for this immersion brew.
-
Medium-coarse. Perfect for a travel hand-grinder, so you’re not laboring too hard for a fine grind by hand before your first cup.

Fill ‘er up to the line with hot water.
Start your timer.
After about a minute, give it a gentle swirl until the floating bed loosens up a bit. It will change color, revealing a frothy golden brown if using Two Giants coffee, if not, then it’s just a dull sad brown.

After 3 minutes, carefully turn the Palmpress over onto a mug or server and slowly press.
That’s it! This is seriously easy and makes an excellent coffee.

A quick rinse should do for a few consecutive days. As with all paperless brewers, the oils will begin to accumulate on the brewing surfaces and eventually turn rancid, so it’s a good idea to wash with soap every few days.
Every part of this thing comes apart easily, so a more thorough clean with soap isn’t too laborious.
