French Press at Cafesytes.com: the method that brings out the most nuances in specialty coffee

If you truly want to appreciate a specialty coffee —Kenya Bungoma, Ethiopia Sidamo, Guatemala from Supracafé— the French press is the ideal method. No paper filter to absorb aromatic oils, no pressure to stress the coffee: just hot water in direct contact with the ground beans for 4 minutes. The result is a coffee with more body, more complexity, and a silky texture that conventional coffee makers cannot achieve. At Cafesytes.com, we have reliable French presses for all budgets.

The perfect coffee and grind for French press

You need a coarse grind —like coarse breadcrumbs— and water at 94-95 °C (remove from heat 30 seconds after boiling). The ratio that works best: 15g of coffee for every 250ml of water. When ordering at Cafesytes.com, tell us it's for French press and we will grind it to the exact point. The Colombia and the Kenya Bungoma are our favorite recommendations to start with this method.
