As a coffee-lover, you have many choices, but adding a French press to your collection is a surefire way to elevate your coffee experience.
From price and taste to durability, there’s a wide range of benefits that French presses have to offer. Today, we’re touching on four of these alluring aspects.
1. They Last Forever
Unfortunately, drip coffee pots are poorly made and break rapidly. On the other hand, a French press is built to last. Because it only consists of a few parts, most people can use the same press for life. The only part that can break is the glass carafe, which is easily replaceable.
2. Fresh Press Coffee Tastes Divine
Many coffee appliances produce a quick cup of coffee rather than a delicious-tasting one. With a French press, you have complete control over the aspects that drip coffee pots typically fail to do correctly. First, everything is in the cup. Since everything except the ground coffee ends up in the cup, you taste all the flavors. In addition, you don’t have to worry about impurities that typically accompany a drip machine. With a French press, your coffee turns out the way it’s meant to taste: free of impurities.
3. It’s Always the Right Temperature
Coffee pot manufacturers focus on producing an efficient product that can heat up and cool down quickly. With a French press, the water maintains the right water temperature throughout the entire process. You can rest easy knowing that your coffee will brew at the perfect temperature (195-205 degrees Fahrenheit) every time.
4. Fresh Press Allows for Steeping
One of the main aspects of a delicious cup of Joe falls on the grounds. Since a French press allows for the grounds to steep instead of filter, the coffee comes out more flavorful and fresher than by using any other method.
Tips For Beginners
If you’re new to coffee brewing, here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your French press:
- Use a scale to measure coffee and water
- Invest in a quality grinder
- Use a medium-coarse to extra-coarse grind
- Use the right water-to-coffee ratio
- Warm up the pot before brewing
- Warm it up to the right temperature
- Let the coffee sit for a minute before stirring
- Keep the coffee grounds below the filter while plunging
- Pour all of the coffee out of the carafe after plunging
- Clean your French press thoroughly after each use
