French press coffee is coffee made in a French press, or "plunger pot. Because the ground coffee is exposed to water for longer than it is in other coffee brewing methods, French press coffee has a richer flavor and aroma. (This is because French press coffee tends to capture more of the beans' essential oils.)
With a French press, some coarsely ground coffee and some hot water, you can make aromatic, flavorful French press coffee at home. To learn how, check out these French press coffee instructions and this video on how to use a French press.
