What is a French Press Coffee Maker?
French Press Coffee is a unique brewing method that allows you to savor the true flavor of the coffee. When coffee is brewed using a paper filter, the natural oils of the coffee are filtered out. Because coffee is brewed in the French Press Coffee Maker by direct infusion with the boiled water (steeping), the true flavor of the coffee is what you find in your cup. Like tea, coffee develops its true subtle flavors after only a couple of minutes of brewing. This is why the French Press brewing method eliminates the acid taste that can result from the more aggressive drip brewing method. With a French Press Pot, you experience an aromatic and mild, yet rich taste of coffee, without acidity. It is the favored brewing method for baristas* around the world when they want to test a certain coffee bean's flavor.
*barista: one who is fully informed and practiced in the art of coffee making; means "bartender" in Italian.
