French Press: The Secret to Making the Perfect Cup of Coffee


A French press is a special compact device that can be used both for brewing coffee at home and tea. We advise you to purchase different devices for their preparation in order to avoid the appearance of a specific taste. The design is simple, it consists of a flask, a filter, a piston, a lid, a body, and a handle. Thanks to the presence of a French press, either a budget or an expensive model, coffee is brewed much easier than in a Turk.

Let's consider in detail: how to properly prepare classic black coffee and aperitifs with milk, what advantages and disadvantages a French press has for coffee and loose-leaf tea. At the end there are useful tips that will be of interest to real gourmets.

The history of the coffee and tea brewer

The first presses appeared in France in the 19th century. Their design did not contain a filter - the finished liquid was combined with the coffee mass. Years later, the Italians added a filtration system to the vessel.

Later, the French gave the teapot a modern look, which earned them the right to call the design a “French press.”

Kitchen devices arrived in Russia in the 2000s. The press was bought for brewing tea, and over the last 5 years they began to use it for preparing coffee variations.

French press: general concept

The French press has remained virtually unchanged since its inception. It has become lighter, the material is more environmentally friendly, and the brewing process is simpler.

Manufacturers offer plastic coffee pots, although coffee lovers condemn this option. Experts believe that drinks prepared in an infuser teach people to distinguish between different flavors.

Design features

The design of the press includes the following elements:

  1. Container in which coffee drinks are brewed. The material used is glass that is resistant to high temperatures. The structure is breakable. Falling the vessel will cause cracks to appear on the walls of the device, and the seal of the teapot will be broken.
  2. Three-layer filter. The base is a fine mesh. The material prevents the grain from mixing with the finished drink.
  3. Plunger. Connects the flask lid to the filter.
  4. Lid. Made of plastic, steel, ceramics.
  5. Legs to protect the surface on which the French teapot is installed from water.
  6. Teapot handle. It can be plastic, sometimes steel, covered with thermal insulation. Metal is more reliable than plastic.

Operating principle and scope

In a French press, it is better to use coarsely ground grains. It is recommended to grind the beans immediately before brewing, preserving their aroma. Before use, wash the French teapot, rinse with hot water, and wipe the walls of the press with a hot towel.

Next, perform the following steps:

  • fill the flask with grain - 1.5-2 liters per glass of drink;
  • Fill the French teapot halfway with water heated to 95°C;
  • after 30 seconds, fill the flask with hot water, leaving 2 cm to the edge of the coffee pot;
  • let the water with the grain sit in the press for 3-4 minutes;
  • lower the plunger with the filter so that it touches the drink particles that have settled on the bottom of the press;
  • leave the French press for 2 minutes, finishing brewing the liquid;
  • pour the liquid into cups.

Varieties

The market offers a wide variety of French presses.

Models are classified according to parameters:

  • material for making the container, coffee pot body;
  • water volume;
  • number of flask walls (1 or 2);
  • teapot manufacturer, design;
  • material of the flask body, piston;
  • press design and filter material.

Advantages

The French press has many more advantages than the inconveniences associated with its use.

Among the advantages of French coffee pots:

  1. Low price of coffee pots.
  2. The teapot is easy to care for. The device is quickly disassembled, the press body is washed with a sponge.
  3. There is no regular purchase of a filter or other elements. The press is beneficial to use.
  4. The French press is compact. The teapot is easy to place in the office or kitchen.
  5. By adjusting the amount of mixture, water, and infusion time, it is easy to control the strength of the drink.
  6. Coffee prepared in a French press is free of foreign odors and impurities, and the drink reveals its taste to the maximum.
  7. Thanks to the filter and plunger, solid particles occupy the bottom of the flask and do not enter the liquid and stomach.
  8. The brewing process using a press only requires hot water.

Foaming cold milk/espresso cream


Cooling Milk
Cool about 1/2 cup of milk in a small stainless steel glass or bowl.

Place the bowl in the freezer for 15 to 30 minutes or until the temperature reaches just above freezing.

The thicker the milk or cream you use, the thicker your foam will be. However, using milk with a low fat content of 2% or lower may be easier if you froth by hand. Low-fat milk usually includes whey proteins, which are milk foam stabilizers.

Check the bowl to make sure the milk is not frozen. There shouldn't be any ice crystals there.


making coffee with milk in a French press

While the milk is cooling, prepare the espresso. You can then make the foam while the coffee brews.

Remove the bowl from the freezer and place it on a towel on the countertop.

Now you can start frothing milk in several ways.

The first method is to heat the milk on the stove. Mix the milk, then shake and microwave.

The second method is mixing and shaking, but without microwave.


frothing milk

Open the flask and insert the immersion blender. You can also froth the milk in a smaller container for easier frothing. Stir until you get a nice, stiff foam.


milk in a can

Pour the frothy milk into a jar with a lid. Don't fill the jar more than halfway. Leave enough space for the milk to foam. After you have poured the milk, close the lid and shake the jar well.

You can leave the cold foam as is or microwave it if you need extra foam. You should immediately pour it over your drink before it settles.


coffee with milk foam

To do this, take a spoon and place a dollop of foam on top of the drink. Sprinkle with cinnamon to add flavor. You can also pour the milk mixture into your drink.

Selection criteria: what to look for when purchasing

When choosing a device, you are guided by personal preferences, as well as the advice of coffee lovers who have tested models from different manufacturers.

Material of manufacture

Traditionally, the teapot is made of glass. There are metal and plastic models on the market. It is believed that the metal material and plastic add an unpleasant aftertaste. The disadvantage of metal is the opacity of the walls.

The plunger is made of metal or plastic. The first material is easier to maintain and will last longer. The plastic element is lighter and cheaper.

It is better to give preference to models with a filter made of synthetic material, without a silicone ring around the perimeter. This will help avoid mixing solid particles into the liquid and frequently replacing the filter mesh.

When purchasing, evaluate the condition of the coffee pot: there should be no cracks or dents on the walls of the press.

Volume

Since the finished product cannot be stored, choose a teapot with a volume equal to one tea party. For a family of 2 people, a volume of 350 ml is enough. A large vessel of 2-3 liters is suitable for 6-10 guests. When calculating, the proportion is observed: 200 ml of water for each person.


Teapots for different sizes.

Base design

The main requirement for the design of a brewing press is stability. The base of the body should not “walk” while filling the flask or lag behind it.

Steel is more reliable than plastic. Pay attention to the material of the teapot handle. Does the element's coating reliably protect your hands from contact with the hot surface of the coffee pot? The base of the teapot body, as well as the flask, are checked for cracks and chips.

Plunger operation

When buying a French press, check how smoothly the plunger moves along the flask. When moving along the plunger of the kettle walls there should be no jerking, only slight resistance may be present.

If the plunger moves easily, this may mean that the gap between the filter and the housing is larger than expected, which means that the filtration system will allow small particles to pass through.

A metal filter is suitable for retaining large fractions. The synthetic filtration mesh of the plunger will prevent small particles from entering the liquid.

What kind of device is this?

This is a device for brewing coffee, coffee compounds, medicinal herbs, and tea. It is made from various materials, but a convenient, common option is glass. There are additional inserts that help secure the model and make it easier to use. For example, a French press made of bronze has a lightweight design, colorful design, and a price affordable for the average buyer. Such copies can be found in many stores and on online platforms.

In general, the use of metal French presses is widespread. This is due to the affordable cost, ease of use, and structural strength. In this case, different materials are possible; the use of simple metals and alloys is popular. A French press made of stainless steel will last longer than a similar model made of iron or aluminum.

There are expensive models on sale that differ in material and external description. Such examples include French presses made of brass. The average price for one product is 7-8 thousand rubles.

In the listed varieties, the brewing container is mainly made of heat-resistant borosilicate glass. But there are other options, for example, ceramic French presses. They go well with a tea or coffee set, so they are found in gift sets. The inside of the ceramics is coated with a special substance that protects the surface from stains and the absorption of odors. Most models are dishwasher safe.

French press device diagram:

  • cylindrical vessel;
  • piston (plunger);
  • filter;
  • lid.

The structure of the road French press is similar to the classic version. The main difference in most cases is the material from which the kitchen mechanism is made. Even heat-resistant and impact-resistant glass can be damaged on the road. For this reason, these options are made of plastic to avoid accidents. There are also varieties with the properties of a thermos.

The disadvantage of plastic flasks can be an unpleasant odor. The problem is common to most cheap models.

When choosing an option, you need to focus on the structure of the filter mesh. It is this detail that will allow you to get a high-quality drink without suspension and sediment from solid particles. The design must fit tightly to the glass, which is often achieved by the presence of a spring. Some examples have up to 4 stainless steel meshes, although cheaper models have only 2.

Rating of the best models

As you already understand, the model range of French presses differs only in design, manufacturing materials and the integrity of the manufacturer.

To simplify the choice, we have compiled our own small rating of manufacturers whose products we have already evaluated in practice. As always, we warn you about the complete subjectivity of the approach. It is based only on our own impression at the “like-dislike” level.

1 place. Bodum

The Danish brand is represented by a whole constellation of French presses of different sizes and designs. Colored lids, comfortable handles that do not heat up, durable borosilicate glass and metal filters. The dishes last a long time, and cost quite a lot of money - from 2.5 thousand rubles.

2nd place. Bialetti

Coffee lovers know this name very well from geyser coffee makers. Bialetti French presses are distinguished by decent build quality and production. A definite plus is the comfortable and durable handles. Even a liter coffee pot, full to the brim, is not scary to lift with such handles. The price starts from 2.6-2.8 rubles.

3rd place. Hario

The Japanese brand specializes in making tableware, and pour-overs have brought it worldwide fame. French presses made in Japan are durable, stylish in design and reliable in construction. Comfortable handles and stands, strong lids, metal mesh filter. The biggest drawback is the high price. A miniature press of 240 ml will cost from 1.5-2 thousand rubles.

4th place. Tescoma

Chinese cookware brand has a good reputation. French presses cannot boast of a variety of designs, but they are practical. Comfortable handles, good piston stroke. The downside is that they need to be dried after use, otherwise they can quickly rust. Cost – from 1.5 thousand rubles.

5th place. Taller

Chinese products have a traditionally affordable price. Among the minuses, we note that the design of the handle and lid is not always successful. In many models they are metal and heat up quickly. But the price from 600 rubles is very attractive.

Operating instructions: tips and recommendations

For a French press to last long, it must be used correctly.

Coffee grinding degree and dosage

When choosing a grind, pay attention to the structure of the filter. The finer the mesh cells of the press, the less coarse the grains can be ground. For a metal press, a grind the size of grains of sea salt is suitable. It is recommended to take 60 g of grain per 1 liter of water. Use a measuring spoon.

Water temperature

The optimal water temperature is 95°C. To avoid mistakes, use a thermometer. If there is no device for measuring temperature, bring the water to a boil and then cool for 1 minute. Then water is poured into the container.

Extraction

To get a high-quality result, the flask is heated before use, rinsed with hot water. After the grains are poured in and the water is poured in, the mixture is lightly stirred with a wooden spatula.

You cannot immediately lower the piston - first the liquid in the container must sit for the required time.

Once ready, the liquid is immediately poured into cups to prevent the grains from being over-extracted.

Selection of ingredients

How to brew coffee to get the perfect drink? Let's share our tricks.

Coffee should be brewed in pre-purified/bottled water at a temperature of 92-95 degrees. Boil the kettle, wait half a minute - the water is ready to use. What is the optimal grind? Buy ground beans in their original packaging or grind them yourself in a coffee grinder, choosing a coarse (coarse) coffee grind.

How many spoons should you use? Baristas use ratios in a wide range - from 1:10 to 1:18. If you put lightly roasted ground beans into a French press, the quantity increases. During heat treatment, grains lose less moisture and, accordingly, weigh more.

Try starting with the standard recipe: 1.5 heaped tablespoons of coffee per 200 ml. After tasting, you will understand how to prepare coffee according to your personal requirements.

Coffee recipes

Expensive models of coffee pots often come with booklets with drink recipes. Below are the most popular cooking methods.

Classical

To prepare the drink, you only need a press, water and coffee. The grains are ground while simultaneously heating the French press with hot water. After the dry mixture is poured into the container, it is filled with water at the desired temperature and left for 4-5 minutes.

Warsaw style

This recipe requires the following ingredients:

  • 50 ml water;
  • 50 g coffee;
  • brown cane sugar;
  • 450 ml milk.

The milk is heated while simultaneously heating the coffee pot. Pour ground coffee and sugar into it. Pour the mixture with water. Leave for 1-2 minutes, after which milk is added to the press. After 3 minutes, the piston is lowered and the finished liquid is poured into cups.


Warsaw style coffee in French press.

Latte

Ground cinnamon will be added to the products from the previous recipe.

The procedure will be as follows:

  • Pour coffee into the teapot and fill it halfway with water;
  • close for 3 minutes, then pour the water into a container with a spout and rinse the brewing container;
  • pour hot milk into the teapot, insert the piston and quickly pull the plunger up to form foam;
  • pour the resulting milk mixture into another container, then pour coffee into it in a thin stream;
  • sprinkle the drink with cinnamon to taste.

Best Inexpensive French Presses with Plastic Base

If you need a budget model, you should pay attention to a French press with a food-grade plastic body. Such products are light, comfortable, look aesthetically pleasing, although they have a short service life. In order for the teapot to last as long as possible, it must have a fireproof glass flask, a metal piston and a steel filter.
