A French Press, also known as a coffee plunger, is a manual coffee maker that brews coffee by mixing ground coffee with hot water, then pressing down a metal mesh filter to separate the grounds.

This brewing method highlights the natural oils and aromatic richness of coffee, resulting in a full-bodied, flavorful cup.
