The French press, also known as a cafetière, remains a beloved brewing method for coffee enthusiasts seeking a rich and full-bodied cup. Selecting the right ground coffee is crucial to achieving the perfect brew. At Dwyfor Coffee, our range of artisan blends is crafted to elevate your French press experience.
Why the Right Grind Matters
The French press method involves steeping coarse coffee grounds in hot water before pressing them through a mesh filter. Using a coarse grind prevents over-extraction and minimizes sediment in your cup. All our ground coffees at Dwyfor are available in a grind suitable for French press brewing.
