The French Press is one of the easiest methods to make great tasting coffee at home. Coarsely ground coffee beans or loose tea leaves are steeped in boiling water and then filtered away by plunging the mesh sieve through the press. Crafted from premium stoneware for excellent heat retention, the Le Creuset French Press is finished with a vibrant glaze which is easy to clean, dishwasher-safe, and resistant to chips, scratches and stains.
