The French Press is a classic and straightforward coffee brewing device. It consists of a cylindrical glass or stainless steel container with a metal or nylon mesh plunger and a lid. To use it, coarsely ground coffee is steeped in hot water. After a few minutes, the plunger is pressed down to separate the coffee grounds from the liquid. The result is a full-bodied and robust cup of coffee, with a rich flavor profile due to the immersion brewing method.
