Which Coffee for a French Press?

Metal mesh lets the oils through, so sweet, chocolatey profiles with low acidity shine. Try Sie Przelewa Classic from our partners at HAYB, a light roast from Brazil with chocolate, nuts and dried fruit, or FLOW Brownie from COFFEE PLANT with milk chocolate and caramel. For a darker edge, Brazil Mogiana is a natural dark roast with cocoa, milk chocolate and roasted hazelnut.

  • Rich Texture

    The metal mesh filter allows natural oils to pass through, creating a heavy, velvety mouthfeel.

  • Pure Simplicity

Why Full Immersion Tastes Different

No paper filter means the oils stay in your cup, which gives a heavier body and a velvety feel. Some fine sediment goes along for the ride, so pour gently and leave the last sip in the pot. Give it patience and you get a deep, chocolatey or syrupy finish. Perfect for a slow Sunday breakfast.

Grind Size and Timing for the Press

Grind coarse, add hot water, steep for about four minutes, then press down slowly. If it tastes bitter or muddy, grind a bit coarser. If it tastes thin or sour, steep a little longer. Our French press guide covers the details, and how to store your beans keeps them fresh until the next brew.
