French Press Coffee Maker - The Connoisseur of Coffee makers

From vacuum coffee to filter coffee the world is full of coffee, how ever if you’ve ever experienced a cup made in a French press coffee maker then you know that it’s difficult to surpass the taste. Reason being is the way coffee is prepared in a press, it’s like no other brewing process.

A Very Unusual Way to Protect the Coffee Flavor

In order to make a pristine cup of coffee the flavor must be extracted from the beans, it’s said that the French press coffee maker literally creates the best coffee in the world, all thanks to the unique way the French press is made. A tall but narrow glass beaker is filled with freshly ground coffee. Ideally the beans must be ground more coarse then they would for an auto drip maker. Water is added and brought to a boil and the grounds are allowed to mix and sit in the boiling water. This process gets all of the flavor of the beans, much better then any filter maker could ever do. The plunger (press) is then pushed down and the coffee grounds are then separated from the water. Viola you’re left with French press coffee.

As the plunger is pushed down you can smell the wonderful aroma of the beans coming up. Sometimes compared with Turkish coffee a French press coffee maker makes a cup of joe to remember.

Sometimes called the connoisseur coffee maker the French press coffee maker provides a full bodied taste like no other. Known by other names such as a presspot or cafetiere it provides a strong but rich flavor in your mug.

Fresh beans are a must when using a French press, starting with the best ensures you get the best cup of coffee as your outcome. As mentioned grinding the beans in a more granulated coarse grind is important so when purchasing or using a grinder check for a setting to vary the coarseness of the beans.

Because of this, the beans will maintain the richest flavor and this same flavor will get soaked in the heated water used in the French press coffee maker. Once you taste a cup of coffee made this way, it is doubtful you will ever enjoy anything else again.

By grinding fresh beans and not grinding them to a powder you’ll ensure the richest flavor possible when the granules are mixed with the boiling water in the French press coffee maker. If you’re a coffee lover and don’t yet own a French press put it on your shopping list. It’d not an expensive addition to your kitchen.

Consider the Bodum line of coffee and tea presses for a taste you won’t forget.
