Invented in 1929, the French Press is a cylindrical pot with a plunger and built-in filter screen that presses hot water through ground coffee. Creating an earthy, rich taste in your daily cup of coffee.
The secret is all in the grind: choose medium, with uniformity and consistency throughout. Too coarse a grind may clog the filter, whilst very fine grinds will pass through the filter, muddying the results.
