Description
A classic, dense cup of earthly delight
Basically unchanged since it’s invention in 1929, the Chambord French Press is the classic home brewer. Immersion-style, simple to use, easy to clean and used by baristas and home brew aficionados the world over.
Size: 17 ounces
The French Press, invented in 1929 and basically unchanged to this day, makes a rich, full-bodied coffee. As the metallic filter allows more fines and oils to seep through, a French Press produces a denser cup with a fuller mouthfeel than standard drip coffee. Also, ratios will vary depending on the size of Press and how rich you prefer your coffee.
