Delter Coffee Press Ultimate Brew Guide
By Coffee Coach RYDE, 2023
The Delter Press inventor's own recipe using injection brewing: a slow, gentle two-phase press over roughly three minutes that keeps water and coffee separated until pressed, producing a clean, bright cup without precision equipment.

worked out from the recipe · creator explicitly says medium and rules out fine; places on medium band

How Coffee Coach RYDE brews it
- Filter
paper
“also has paper filters we do have a stainless steel model if you see the gray version around that comes with the stainless steel filter but otherwise the clear model comes with the papers”
said in the original · transcript, 1:54–2:01
- Filter rinsed first
Yes
“we're just going to give that a bit of a quick rinse just to pre-wet the paper filter”
said in the original · transcript, 2:12–2:17
How Coffee Coach RYDE says to adjust it
- dose range
- 12 to 22
- extended brew
- after pre-infusion, can press another 50 ml and let sit before final press to extend brew time
- brew time target
- two and a half to three minutes
- pre infusion volume ml
- around 50 ml in first 30 seconds; can experiment with up to 100 ml
What it makes
- Acidity
high
“the thing I wanted to really try and enhance is like the brightness of the coffee”
said in the original · transcript, 9:02–9:04; brightness is the creator's own word for acidity/liveliness
- Style
clarity
“it's certainly a cleaner cup”
said in the original · transcript, 9:12–9:13
- Suits
light, medium roasts
a filter blend that I am still in development
worked out from the recipe · coffee used is described as a filter roast blend; method is compared to drip brewing, suggesting light-to-medium roast orientation
Where the original recipe does not say how the coffee tastes, the flavour here is an estimate.
