The French Press, also known as a cafetière or coffee plunger, is probably the most underrated method of brewing coffee. It is cheap, easy, repeatable and very easy for coffee beginners to make tasty freshly brewed coffee. 

 

​

Because a French Press yields coffee that isn’t filtered through paper, it has the hearty “that’s rich

coffee” quality that French Press enthusiasts so admire. 

​

The most important aspect of a French Press is that it uses a coarse grind size of coffee - which is easily achievable even on budget grinders or even blade choppers (chutney-makers) found in an Indian kitchen.  

​

It is the perhaps one of few brewing methods which is well suited to all roast levels and varieties of coffee - from light to dark roasts and from fruity to nutty salted caramel coffees.
