How to Brew a FRENCH PRESS

French press doesn’t soak up flavor and adds tiny bits of coffee grounds in the coffee that percolates flavor. Because the grounds steep instead of filter, the coffee tastes better. Everything is in the cup. Using a French press means that everything except the ground coffee is in the cup.
