French Press Coffee Maker
For many coffee enthusiasts the French press coffee maker is the way to brew coffee. If you have never tried French press coffee, then I think you should definitely give it a try.You may or may not like it as it does contain a little bit of sediment. But the coffee is rich, full-bodied and with a lot of aroma - just my cup of tea :-).
Using the French press is very simple yet it gives you a lot of control over how you brew your coffee. You control not only the amount of coffee grounds but also the temperature of the water and length of brewing. This allows you to really get the best out of your beans. Check my tips about using the French Press coffee maker.
French press is known by many different names - cafetière, coffee press, coffee plunger, press pot etc. It consists of a jug and a plunger that fits tightly into the jug. You put coarsely ground coffee into the jug, pour hot water over it, leave it stand for a few minutes and then use the plunger to push the coffee grounds to the bottom of the jug to separate them from the coffee.
