French Coffee Press

A French Press, also known as a coffee press or coffee plunger,is a simple way of brewing an extremely flavorful cup of coffee with easy cleanup and minimal effort and counter space. The lid and plunger are removed, and ground coffee added to the glass container at a ratio of 1 tablespoon per cup of coffee desired. Then hot water is added to the ground coffee (we recommend about 195° F). The coffee circulates freely in the water, allowing maximum flavor to be released. Then, after 4 minutes or so, you replace the plunger lid and press the plunger gently but firmly down as far as it will go. This filters out all the coffee grounds and leaves the brewed coffee on top, ready to be poured out and enjoyed.

The Presses we offer are our favorites because they can be completely disassembled, making them easy to clean. Below is a picture of the metal press fully disassembled. All parts can be placed in the dishwasher, and this allows the press to be totally cleaned, unlike single-piece versions that may trap materials in the crevices.
