Like the title says I was gifted some pre-ground coffee by relatives that visited Brazil. This coffee is pre-ground and is finer than anything I’ve seen. Seriously, it looks like powered sugar!

My usual brewing method is a pour over, but it is so fine the water doesn’t filter through.

My backup method has been a french press and it works, but not ideal as it tends to over extract.

Any suggestion from the community (that don’t involve buying an espresso machine, that plan was already veto’d by my spouse…)?

If it isn't an Espresso bean, it'd probably wouldn't taste great if you put it into a porta filter anyways.

If you have an Aeropress handy, try using a steel-mesh filter paired with a paper filter or stack up two paper filters to make sure the fine coffee doesn't go through.
