Commonly known as a french press coffee maker, this style of manual coffee making has been long accepted as perhaps the best way to make full flavored coffee. By allowing the coarse ground coffee (which is the grind you should always use in a french press - finer grinds can seep through the filters) to infuser completely over a few minutes, the flavors and oils extracted in this process are unmatched. The GROSCHE Lisbon French Press Coffeea and Tea maker is a unique and elegant construction in its one piece all glass body design, which allows you to completely see the brewing or steeping process. This makes your cup of coffee or tea a great visual experience as well. It has a dual filter system, with the main press being one, and another one in the lid as well. When You make your coffee or tea, turn the lid to close the press while your coffee or tea steeps, and turn it again to open it to pour. That will retain heat and allow for better flavor for your coffee or tea. Due to the all clear glass body, this french press is also perfectly suited to be used to make GROSCHE blooming teas as well. Drop your blooming tea in the pot, add boiling water, put on the lid (wait 3-5 minutes before pressing half way), and the tastiest and most beautiful blooming tea is ready!
