The French press is a beloved method for brewing coffee, known for its simplicity and rich flavor output. To achieve the best results, it's essential to focus on the quality of the coffee beans, the coarseness of the grind, the brewing time, and particularly the roast of the coffee. Darker roasts are ideal for the French press as they contain more oils, which are not filtered out due to the metal coil mechanism of the press. These oils contribute to a more flavorful, full-bodied cup of coffee, aligning perfectly with the characteristics that make the French press a favorite among coffee aficionados.
