French Press

⏱️ Time: 4 min (Steep) ⚙️ Grind: Coarse

Patented by Italian designer Attilio Calimani in 1929, the French Press is the most practical and accessible full-immersion brewing method in the world. It does not use paper filters, relying instead on physical separation through a metal mesh plunger.

Because the coffee grounds are fully submerged in hot water and there is no paper to trap the beans’ essential oils, the French Press produces a beverage with a heavy body, velvety texture, and a striking aroma. It is the ideal choice for those who appreciate full-bodied coffees with deep sweetness.
