FRENCH PRESS AT HOME
Introducing our "Barrie House at Home" coffee brewing series.
This is the first in a multipart series that will share tips and tricks on how to make your ordinary home coffee experience extraordinary.
First up: the French Press, a simple, elegant way to make the most of your high-quality coffee beans and creating an exceptional coffee at home.
Why a French Press? Because unlike usual coffee makers, a French Press does not use a traditional filter. Instead, a French Press steeps the grounds in the carafe, allowing the hot water to soak the grounds and extract more flavor and natural oils.
First up is the French Press. In just five easy steps, you can experience the bold, full flavors of our coffees that only a French Press can deliver. All you need is ground coffee, hot water, a French Press (of course), your favorite mug, and 5 easy steps.
Missing something? We have got you covered. We offer four precision ground, sealed fresh, pre-measured coffee packets designed specifically for French press coffee makers.
