ABOUT THE FRECH PRESS 🧐

This traditional brewing method, also known as a Cafetiere, has been a popular for centuries.

Unlike drip coffee makers or espresso machines, the French press lets coffee grounds steep in hot water, capturing every flavor. Its simple design makes it easy to use and clean—just add coarse coffee grounds, pour in hot water, steep for a few minutes, and press down the plunger for a perfect cup.

Made from sturdy materials, many French presses are built to last, available in various styles from sleek stainless steel to classic glass.
