A French press, called a cafetiere, caffetiere a stanouille, press pot, coffee pot, or just caffe, coffee plunger or French press, is an old-fashioned coffee drinking device, usually made of metal, with a long handle to be able to put the caffetiere directly on the pot or press to brew. A real French press pot will give you an exceptional quality of coffee and will allow you to control the amount of coffee grinds you get from each brew. Either way, the French presses are going to make your coffee making the experience that much more pleasurable.
