If you like full-bodied and flavorful coffee, a French press should be your go-to brewing method. A French press is a manual coffee maker with a cylindrical carafe, a plunger and a built-in filter that percolates the coffee. It uses just-boiled water to steep coarse grinds for about four minutes
French press coffee is one of the easiest and best ways to make coffee; in just a few minutes, you can have a flavorful cup of coffee, and you don't even need electricity. You just need a French press pot, course-ground coffee and hot water to make yourself a great cup
I first learned about French presses when I worked as a barista several years ago in the Chicago area. Process so easy, results so good: Grind, boil, pour, steep, plunge, pour. A perfect, rich cup of coffee with all the yummy oils still lingering in your cup. Suddenly, any cup served from an automatic drip machine seemed, as we now say, basic.
