The elegant glass French press pot evokes the sophistication and classic style of 19th century French cafés and bistros, where the process was originally developed and perfected.

Popularized in Europe in the 1920s and introduced to the U.S. in the 1970s, French press is considered by coffee experts as one of the best ways to brew regular coffee. The simple process gives you more control over brewing time to produce an exquisitely customized cup.

French press is essentially hot water mixed with coarsely ground coffee in a special press pot that's allowed to brew for a few minutes. Pressure is applied to the plunger that forces coffee to the bottom. The coffee's natural oils pass through a mesh filter to infuse the water with more of its flavor. (With automatic coffee makers, these oils tend to be absorbed into standard paper filters.) The result is a more satisfying cup with a richer aroma, well-rounded body and exquisite mouthfeel.

The Gevalia French Press Service is a simple, yet sophisticated way for your guests to enjoy the best coffee experience you can offer.
