French Press
Although invented by the French in the 1800s, it was brought into its current form by the Italians. Using the immersion method, the French Press provides a rich and robust coffee experience. This brewing technique, favoured by home users, is one of the oldest known brewing methods. For a clearer result, consider filtering your coffee using a separate filter after brewing.
