French Press Coffee

Learn how to brew coffee with a French Press

The French Press is a popular brewing method most people are familiar with. We will look at its origin, features, and the kind of coffee you can expect from this brewer.

The first French Press that resembles what we use today was patented by Italians Attilio Calimani and Giulio Moneta in 1929 and it is known to produce a rich full-bodied coffee.

The French Press, also known as cafetière or coffee plunger, is a full immersion timeless brewing device with a metal mesh filter. This brewing method doesn’t involve paper filters, which means more oils make it into your cup, resulting in a robust, bold, full-bodied brew every time.

The French Press is low-maintenance, simple, quick, and easy to use. It comes in different sizes and is perfect for brewing multiple cups at a time.
