Not quite boiled water is then poured into the press, stirred, and then left to sit and steep for a few minutes. After pressing down the grains with the plunge, the coffee is then ready to pour. Coffee drinkers have been using this method for years, because of its ease of use and distinctive taste. This method also allows drinkers to experience the true taste of the coffee by leaving the flavor more intact.

They are also more economical, needing no paper filters, and lighter, making them easier to transport. They’re great for camping or traveling. Although there are French press coffee makers made of plastic, the preferred types are made from glass and stainless steel. This way there is nothing contaminating the flavor of the coffee, ensuring a perfect cup every time. The drawback is that glass presses are breakable and not as durable.
