  3. Bloom the Grounds: Pour a small amount of hot water over the grounds to bloom them, then stir gently and let sit for 30 seconds.
  4. Add Remaining Water: Pour in the remaining hot water, place the plunger lid on top without pressing down, and let the coffee steep for 4 minutes.
  5. Press and Serve: Slowly press the plunger down with steady pressure. Pour the coffee into your mug immediately to prevent over-extraction. Serve and enjoy!
