Brew Guide
French Press
Full body, full immersion.
The French Press is the most immersive brew method — coffee steeps fully in hot water before being separated by the plunger's metal mesh filter. The result is a rich, textured cup with oils and body that paper filters remove.

Pro Tips
- Pour immediately after pressing — leaving coffee in contact with grounds over-extracts and turns bitter.
- A coarser grind prevents excessive fine particles from passing through the mesh.
- Skimming the crust before pressing produces a cleaner cup.
- Try a 4-minute steep for light roasts, 3:30 for medium and dark.
