French Press uses a plunger to press against the mixture of coffee and hot water to extract the coffee oils and flavor.The hot water and coffee mixture is held in a bleaker as the plunger is pressed downward.

 

The plunger has a filter to make sure coffee grinds do not escape and only the flavor is allowed to seep through. This means that the coffee grinds must be coarser than ones used in drip coffee.

Results

 

Absorbs more flavor and oils from coffee than drip since the hot water and coffee mix directly instead of through paper filters. However, coffee grinds may leak through the plunger which results in undesired sediments.
