Press Pot Coffee
French presses create a smooth, pure coffee flavor using a simple process. Water “just off the boil” is poured over the freshly ground coffee, then placed in the bottom of a press pot to steep for a few minutes. Using the plunger, which contains a filter, the grounds are pressed to the bottom of the pot. The remaining liquid is rich, creamy, and full of flavor.
