A French press, called a cafetiere, caffetiere a stanouille, press pot, coffee pot, or just caffe, coffee plunger or French press, is an old-fashioned coffee drinking device, typically made of metal, with a long manage to be able to put the caffetiere straight on the pot or press to brew. A real French press pot will give you a remarkable quality of coffee and will permit you to manage the amount of coffee grinds you get from each brew. Either way, the French presses are going to make your coffee making the experience that much more enjoyable.
