French Press
French press brewing is a great way to make a strong and well extracted cup of coffee quickly and simply. We offer a selection of top-of-the-line glass and chromed stainless steel presses from Bodum. This is the standard cafe press: well made, time tested, easy to maintain, easy to use, and with plenty of replacement parts.
Remember that a French press uses a metal, mesh filter screen which allows more coffee solids and oils from the grounds into the cup. This is what makes French press coffee so distinctive and desirable! The result is a more robust mouth feel and a stronger extraction. For best results on a French press you need an even grind, so a burr grinder is the best choice for French press brewing. We feel that French press offers some real advantages for brewing freshly roasted coffee as well because the water and coffee fully mix for the entire brew time and because the metal filter preserves the oils that might be otherwise filtered out or tainted by a paper filter.
