French Press

Crafted with borosilicate glass, stainless steel and food-safe plastics, our French Press has a minimal yet elegant design which looks great on a kitchen counter. The two-layered filter helps brew two clear cups in five minutes without any remains of coffee grounds. The carefully shaped and grated spout gives the perfect pour without spillage.  A French press, also known as a cafetière, cafetière à piston, caffettiera a stantuffo, press pot, coffee press, or coffee plunger, is a coffee brewing device, although it can also be used for other tasks. The earliest known device was patented in 1852 in France by Jacques-Victor Delforge and Henri-Otto Mayer. The perfect French press coffee ratio is generally considered to be 1:12, meaning one part coffee to 12 parts water. However, this ratio can be adjusted to suit your personal taste preferences, as some people prefer stronger or weaker coffee.  The amount of coffee to put in a French press for 2 cups will depend on the size of your French press and the desired strength of your coffee. As a general guideline, a French press that makes 2 cups (or 12 oz) of coffee will require about 14 to 16 grams of coffee grounds. This is equivalent to about 3 to 4 tablespoons of coffee. So the ratio of coffee to water is roughly 1:15.
