French Press - History and where to enjoy it!

Have you ever tried French Press coffee? Sounds fancy, but complicated right? It may sound hard to pull off, but this very “old-school” way of making your cup of joy in the morning is a lot easier than you think and the results…speak for themselves!

A brief history of French Press: Over the years, the French press has undergone several design modifications. The first coffee press, which may have been made in France, was the modern coffee press in its rudimentary form—a metal or cheesecloth screen fitted to a rod that users would press into a pot of hot water and coffee grounds. The device was further popularized across Europe by a British company by the name of Household Articles Ltd. and the Danish tableware and kitchenware company Bodum.

The modern French press consists of a narrow cylindrical beaker, usually made of glass or clear plastic, equipped with a metal or plastic lid and plunger that fits tightly in the cylinder and has a fine stainless steel wire or nylon mesh filter.

Why drink French Press coffee? This article nails it “Everything is in the cup. Using a French press means that everything except the ground coffee is in the cup. You taste all the flavors, which adds to the experience. You experience the coffee through all five senses.” Read more here: https://www.lifehack.org/374773/6-reasons-why-french-press-makes-the-best-coffee
