French Press Brewing Methods and Equipment

A French press is a popular coffee brewing method that produces deep, dark, and full-flavored coffee through the process of steeping coffee grounds in water for an extended period. The device uses pressure from a plunger to force coffee to the bottom of the carafe after brewing, capturing concentrated flavors in what is described as "coffee in its purest form."

Basic French Press Brewing Process

The standard method for making coffee with a French press involves these steps: - Bring approximately 4 cups of filtered water to a boil - While waiting for the water to boil, grind coffee beans to a coarse grind size similar to kosher salt - Remove water from heat just before boiling and let it sit for about a minute to prevent scalding the coffee grounds - Add the medium-coarse grind coffee to the French press - Slowly pour the hot water into the French press - Gently stir with a wooden or metal spoon to ensure all grounds are fully submerged - Place the plunger on top to retain heat and let the coffee brew for 5 minutes (or longer for stronger coffee) - Press the plunger down slowly to bring all coffee grounds to the bottom - Enjoy the coffee black or with preferred creamers and sweeteners

Some coffee enthusiasts prefer using freshly ground coffee beans for a more flavorful experience, though pre-ground coffee can also be used effectively.

Popular French Press Models

Several French press models were reviewed based on filtration, ease of use, insulation, and quality of construction:

  • Secura Stainless Steel: Rated as the overall favorite, featuring unmatched filtration that produces the cleanest tasting brew and double wall insulation that keeps coffee warm longer
  • Stanley Classic Stay Hot: Well-insulated model designed for larger groups
  • Espro P3: Recommended glass press option
  • Poliviar Double Wall: Features an insulated carafe available in multiple colors with teak wood handles, keeping coffee warm longer than average
  • Bodum Chambord: Glass press with metal lid components
  • Café de Chateau: Constructed with thicker glass and partially protected by a metal sheath for added durability

Glass presses were noted as less durable than their stainless steel counterparts, though some models like the Café de Chateau offer additional protection. The Bodum Chambord and Café du Chateau feature metal as part of their lid construction, though the lids were described as feeling somewhat flimsy.
