OverviewThe French press has invaded homes worldwide. The French press, then called a Cafeolette, began its popularity in the early 1900s. It is preferable to use large coffee beans when using a French press. The smaller grinds can clog the press and often creates sludge with the coffee. The finer the coffee grinds, the harder it is to press the plunger. Just remember to use quality beans that have been roasted within seven to 10 days, use quality bottled water if possible, and make sure that your French press is clean before every use, and you will get a good pot of coffee virtually every time.Step 1Remove the plunger from the French press.
