You Should Absolutely Use a French Press for Coffee

By: 25 Comments


Brought to you by Francois et Mimi and Shabby Chic Boho.

If you’ve ever had a cup of coffee made with a good French Coffee Press, you’ll want to throw your coffee brewers away. I don’t think I’ve ever had a fresher tasting cup of coffee than ones I drink from my Francois et Mimi 50oz Glass French Press. I’m actually drinking a cup now. I can’t think without my coffee.

I was at a friends a little while back and she had a French Coffee Press and I’ve been hooked on them since. They are a must have for any coffee drinker. Take my word for it.

Deja Brew…

So I got my own.

Here she is…

The chrome, or stainless steel, is really beautiful and lovely to photograph I might add.

I didn’t waste any time getting my new French Press out of the box. I rinsed everything out really well, dried it and I was ready to test my new coffee press. It wasn’t hard to do with the easy to use instructions on the box.

I wanted to make a full pot so I used 1/2 cup of coarse ground coffee. I would normally grind my own coffee beans but I already had some ground that I needed to use up. If you don’t like strong coffee, you might want to start with 1/4 cup or as per instructions, 1 T per 4 ounces of water.

Pouring. Getting *excited*…

After putting the coffee in, it was time for the water. I used my Ozeri electric glass kettle to boil my water in because it gets the water really hot and because it’s quick and when I want coffee, I want it sooner rather than later.

I then put the lid on…

Making sure not to push the screen down yet. I waited 5 minutes…

…waiting…

Waiting. Anticipating.

I then pushed the screen down to trap the coffee grinds at the bottom of the pot. I love that the screen works so well that it does not let any grinds in my coffee cups.

That’s it down at the bottom.

The coffee is rich and fresh and smells amazing.

Nice deep color, just like I like it.

I’m pleased with the performance of my French Press in delivering the perfect cup of coffee every time.

There is one flaw to this French Press that was causing a big little mess. The handle and the sprout don’t line up. The handle is in the back and the spout is in the front. The sprout is to the right because the handle is not centered and because it’s pretty heavy when it’s full, I spill the coffee. I’ve made several messes. I now put our coffee cups in the sink to pour it. Problem solved and I even think I might be able to move the handle where it should be by loosening the screws.
UPDATE: Well now I feel like a blooming idiot :). All I had to do was turn the handle about 1/4 of an inch and it lines up perfectly. I didn’t even have to loosen the screws.

Have you ever used a French Press or do you plan to in the future? You can buy your own Francois et Mimi 50oz Glass French Press for a very realistic and affordable price of $25.53 with Amazon Prime.

I received the above mentioned product to use and try. All opinions stated are 100% mine.

  1. Woh! it looks so nice and too moderate. I like this French Press for Coffee. It is really awesome. I should try to buy this French Press. Thank you for given this idea. 🙂

  2. I have never made coffee with a French Press. I would like to try it. I love my coffee.

  4. I’m a girl who needs her coffee too! I love how simple and beautiful these presses are and for the price point I’d consider getting one. The only problem is my hubby would never let me give up our Keurig.

  12. I grind my beans in my blender and when I make too much, I store it in an airtight container in the freezer for those times I’m in a hurry. I try not to get in a hurry though, I’m not a clock watching person. Hee hee.

  13. Sounds amazing. I’ve never had coffee out of a French press before. A fresher taste sounds like it could be worth it.

  14. I have a Keurig on it’s last leg and was looking at getting a new one. This looks like an even better option and I can go and purchase my own beans and grind them!

  15. I actually have a French Press that I used exactly once–I made such a mess I never tried it again! I really should try to use it at least one more time since a lot of people tell me how good the coffee comes out. We will see if the Klutz (that would be me) could actually get it to work correctly!

  16. I love coffee. Though I don’t use a French press in the house, I once stayed with friends on vacation in England and every morning was treated to French-pressed coffee. 🙂

  23. I have had French pressed coffee and I liked it, but since I am the only coffee drinker in our house, I only use my Keurig.
