The Most Versatile Coffee Brewer You Can Buy

Skip 05:01 if you don’t want to hear me unceremoniously sniff as my spring allergies kick in

I still only have a french press because coffee stuff is expensive (specially in a third world country), and I still don't get tired of it. My suggestion for anyone brewing french press is to cloth filter it (as you're pouring into the cup), it retains the rich body but without the silt and fines and it makes the flavor clearer and cleaner, it also doesn't choke like a paper filter. I brew almost exclusively light to medium fruity coffees and it works like a charm every time.

I used to always make cold brew in a french press and then started to use a Hario cold brew jug. I much prefer the french press because it kept the oils and made the cold brew have a stronger taste that I prefer. The cold brew jug gets no use now that I've gone back to just using a french press.

The coffee geek in me always wanted to transition from instant coffee to proper methods of brewing coffee from grounds. Started it from your channel, watched one of your earliest French Press videos and have been using my French Press for the last 2 years. Love this method and will be getting a moka pot and V60 soon. Don't usually comment but I should appreciate the person who made me go down this beautiful rabbit hole of coffee. Your videos are great. Thanks and keep up the good work!

We usually make 2-3 mason jars to steep cold brew in the fridge and then decant into the French press before plunging. This lets us quickly strain more than one batch at a time and not keep the French press itself stuck in the fridge.

Frothing milk with the French press!!! ❤ 10/10 recommend!! I tried after watching this video and I will never use my 10€ hand frother again. I'm flabbergasted how happy I am with the milk froth from the French press. Crazy🤯

I love the fact that she’s using the same white mug from her old video about the French press ,taking us back in time❤❤❤

This is my favourite video on the french press by by far. Simple, no hassle and no extras needed just like the brewer is intended to be used.

When I first started drinking coffee, I got a French press second-hand because I didn't want to shell out for a big electric coffee maker. Years later and I'm still using a French press! Love the taste of the coffee, but I also love how simple a machine the French press is. The fewer the parts, the fewer things for me to bust. 😂 Then too, I love being able to travel with it, or even just bring it to my parents' when their Folger's won't do it for me. As long as you have a way to heat water, you can make French press, which makes it ideal for camping. And it doesn't take up any room on my counter! ❤

I use my French Press for my coffee for every workday. I clean it out using a flexible rubber spatula that you can buy at the dollar store. I get the majority of the grounds out with that and then rinse out. Simple

My French press was my first coffee maker when I moved out and it was so perfect for cold brew in the Nevada summer 💜 I would make some overnight, pour into a separate pitcher, and make another batch while I was at work and add that to the pitcher. That way I had a bulk batch of cold brew for the week

I literally tried this "basic/barebones method" for the french press today, because of this video, and I have to say, it was the best cup of french press I have ever had! I mean.... Don't get me wrong, I already LOVED my french press, but I have never seen something make typical cans of cheap ground coffee you get, like at the store, taste GOOD Like There is of course still bitterness, it's still coffee, but it doesn't taste gross bitter doing it this way!! I could ACTUALLY just drink it with milk, instead of having to drown it in creamer! And I can absolutely see where the "chocolate feel" comes from: Its bitter like how proper dark chocolate is bitter, not bad! Thank you. Oh my goodness, THANK you! I had no idea something so simple could change it so drastically. I would just dump what amount of grounds "seemed right" into the press, and, yknow, i THOUGHT I was making okay coffee. Lol Which, sure, maybe. But having BETTER "correct" proportions has made SUCH a difference I didn't even know was a thing! This has absolutely sparked a new investment in my french press again!! Thank you so much, for the rest of the information too! Im genuinely eager to try the cold brew next too. And making tea! I never stopped to think that you could make tea in it!! I've gotten stuck before in what something is "supposed" to be used for, I dunno if I EVER would have thought of it myself! It's just wonderful!!! Please have an awesome weekend! And onward! 🌞

I went from a "campfire" pot to the press about 5 years ago. I never once thought about giving the grounds a stir. I'll do that tomorrow morning. Great video.

I love my French presses. I have one that's specifically meant for cold brew from Bodum, and another one with double walls for keeping a fresh pot hotter for longer. They both see a lot of use, because my spouse and I are both caffeine addicts.

Thanks for the frothing tip! Worked better than I thought it would. Eyes open at goodwill now for a small glass French press

Thank you Morgan!! I’m moving to a small apartment and won’t have room for all my coffee implements, but I will DEFINITELY be taking my french press!

I use a regular cheap drip brewer for my everyday cups, but for weekends, I gravitate to primarily either French Press or Vacuum Siphon. Both give me a full bodied cup, though the siphon generally gives me less in the way of sediment. I do have multiple other ways of making coffee, from pourover, percolator, phin, and even a flip pot. But French and Siphon are my go-to for weekends.

Very clear and concise, you’re a very good teacher! Have watched several other videos on this subject but enjoyed yours the most! Thank you

I love how you share the knowledge, and the level of detail you put into explaining everything:)

OMG just recently watched your old video and sooooo happy you've now decided to upload a new video about the french press 🎉
