Why French press coffee?

French press coffee tastes better because the freshly ground coffee beans are steeped within the vessel, meaning the immersion creates richer flavours and intensity. If you like your coffee intense, this is a brewing method for you.

Can I use regular coffee in my coffee plunger?

Sure thing, the French press can have any type of coffee in it. However, as per usual, we recommend freshly ground coffee to give you the best possible cup. Choose your roast type depending on taste preferences, a medium blend roast might do the trick to start.
