I use a French Press most of the time. I have found that this method gives me the most control over the brewing process. The French Press is a very simple device that consists of a cylinder that holds the coffee grounds and the hot water along with a plunger that is used to separate the grounds from the coffee. One of the benefits of brewing with a French Press is that the coffee oils are kept with the coffee. Another benefit is that extraction by immersion allows for a rich and full bodied coffee taste. The coffee aroma and taste generated by this brewing process can be close to intoxicating.
