Brewing coffee with a cafetière, also known as a French press, offers a straightforward yet effective method for creating a rich and full-bodied cup of coffee. To begin, coarsely ground coffee is placed into the bottom of the glass or metal container. Hot water, just off the boil, is then poured over the grounds, saturating them completely. After allowing the coffee to steep for around four minutes, a metal mesh filter attached to a plunger is slowly pressed down, separating the grounds from the brewed coffee. This immersion-style brewing allows the coffee to extract fully, resulting in a robust and flavorful brew. The cafetière’s design retains the coffee’s natural oils and fine particles, contributing to its characteristic full-bodied mouthfeel and intense flavor profile. The simplicity of the process makes brewing with a cafetière accessible to coffee lovers of all levels, while the resulting brew satisfies with its rich and satisfying taste.
