A cafetière/push pot what is it?
The principle is very simple. A glass cylinder is filled with (freshly roasted) coarsely ground coffee. Hot water that has boiled is poured onto this. Note! The water must be off the boil, about 93 degrees. The coffee and water must be mixed well with a spoon. You let this mixture steep for about 4 minutes. Now you are going to push down the filter sieve unit (= metal sieve) with little force. Always do this gently! After all, you don't want the hot water from the push pot to end up on your hands or elsewhere. Hmm, your coffee is now ready to be poured.

We recommend that you store the coffee in the original Boot packaging, or in an airtight canister, in a cool and dry place. Press the closing strip on the Boot 250 gram package firmly shut. Do you use a Boot kilo bag? Then roll the kilo bag up to where the beans are and put a clamp on it. Wash out an airtight canister regularly to remove old odors. Make sure the coffee does not come into contact with other foods or moisture, as it absorbs odors quickly.

Whether ground coffee or whole beans, the longer the bag is open, the less fresh your coffee becomes. The quality decreases and so does the crema. But there are some things you can do to store your coffee beans in the best possible way and keep them fresh longer. Read all about storing coffee here!
