FRENCH PRESS

If you like strong coffee, look no further than French pressed coffee… This plunger-like coffee brewing device was pioneered in 1852 and was the first coffee press in the game. Instead of water filtering through coffee grounds like a drip coffee machine or pour over, the water remains in the glass and the coffee grounds soak in all the flavor you can’t get at drive through coffee in Bradenton & Sarasota.

Steps 

• Grind 4 tablespoons of Banyan’s Bradenton coffee beans
• Put coffee grounds in the French press glass

• After 2 minutes stir the water and grounds again
• After 4 minutes push down the press to separate the coffee grounds from the water

Time 

• 5 to 10 minutes

Outcome 

The French press requires more work, but because of the flavor profile, it’s a personal favorite of many for its ability to produce rich and bold, yet smooth notes of coffee. For bolder coffee, let it soak for more than 4 minutes. 

KEURIG®

The Keurig quickly became one of the most popular and practical coffee brewing techniques in America.
