A French press can simplify the coffee-making process and cut back on waste, but some consumers are intimidated by the exotic-looking contraption. A new guide from the experts at Coffee Lover explains how to use the French press to make a full-bodied morning brew.

The latest guide comes as concerns about waste in the coffee industry remain high: in 2020, coffee pod maker Keurig started making its K-cups with recyclable materials after much criticism about their sustainability. Still, that’s a small dent in the 20 tons of waste created annually by grounds, filters, cups, and other by-products, according to the journalists at Coffee Intelligence: their research shows that the average drinker creates 23 pounds of waste per year by tossing just one cup per day.
But using a French press at home can help reduce waste, thanks to its reusable filter design, the guide suggests. Invented in the 1850s, the French press produces full-bodied coffee with a rich flavor and luxurious texture in the mouth. It’s a simple machine with a cylindrical carafe and a plunger with a built-in filter, which is used to extract the grounds. It removes more sediment and extracts more oils than other methods, enhancing the flavor without accenting the bitterness, according to the guide.
Water temperature is the key to successful French press use, Coffee Lover reveals. Using moderately hot water allows for gentle oil and flavor extraction, with water in the 200-degree Fahrenheit range being the most suitable temperature - just before the pot boils.
To use, consumers simply need to remove the lid and plunger of their French press coffee machine to add the desired amount of grounds, then pour in the water, the guide advises. Users should then replace the lid, allow the brew to steep for four minutes, and then plunge the grounds. French press coffee is served immediately, which spares further heating and burning in an urn or on a hot plate.
The guide recommends several French press machines in different price ranges but reminds consumers that the beans and grind quality are equally important. A French press requires more coarsely ground coffee beans since grounds are exposed to water for a longer period, meaning finely ground beans will result in a bitter brew. A quality burr-style grinder can help control grind size, Coffee Lover notes.
