Characteristics of a French press
This small French press stands out for its simplicity and efficiency. Made of glass or stainless steel, it has a sturdy outer wall and a protective base. The French press filter relies on a press that separates the ground coffee from the hot water, enabling a complete infusion.
Like a filter, the piston press offers maximum flavour extraction, guaranteeing superior quality. This optimized filtration mode ensures richly flavoured cups of coffee, ideal for strong coffee lovers.
You might find some coffee sediment in your final cup, but this is a common characteristic of most French presses.
Tips: Consider using a coffee grinder before brewing to ensure fresh grounds and taste.
You can even opt for glass French press models, which are particularly popular for their aesthetic appeal and performance.
How to use your French press properly
It's important to choose the right grind size: not too fine and not too coarse. Medium ground coffee is ideal, as overly fine coffee particles will sift through the metal filter, while an overly coarse grind will under-extract the aromas. You'll also need to choose the right beans to suit your preferences.
Next, the water temperature should be just below boiling in the coffee press to fully extract the aromas without burning your batch of coffee (electric kettles can help you if you don't have time). For a proper water ratio, just make sure you know what kind of brew you want: strong, medium, or light.
Finally, be sure to press the plunger slowly after the brewing process to avoid disturbing the coffee grounds at the bottom, which could make your cup bitter. With these tips, every cup of coffee will be a delight.
Tips: For products where it is mentioned, the filter part is dishwasher-safe!
