Glossary2
- Immersion
- Brewing method where coffee soaks in water for a set time (Aeropress, Clever, French Press). The opposite of percolation, where water flows through (V60, Chemex).
- Plunge
- Pressing down the plunger (Aeropress) or filter (French Press) to separate coffee from grounds. Pressure and speed affect body and bitterness.
