Ask a coffee connoisseur to name the best way to brew a perfect cup of joe, and you’ll likely get a slew of different answers. Some believe that there’s nothing wrong with the classic drip or pour-over method, and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Others are partial to their fancy glass Chemex, while those who enjoy waking up to the smell of fresh coffee take the set-it-and-forget-it approach. And some are still using the stainless steel, two-tiered stovetop coffee maker their grandparents handed down to them—and we’re not here to slander anyone’s nonna. They are, however, all wrong.
The best way to make coffee (in my humble opinion) is via a French press. It’s the purest, most efficient way to squeeze every drop of flavor out of each bean. There’s no technology involved, so you won't be left with an empty mug at 7am when your pot was supposed to auto-brew, and no flimsy, constantly-tearing filters are needed, so it saves you money, too. All it takes to make coffee with a French press are coarsely ground beans, super hot water, and a little bit of muscle. Plus, they’re timelessly beautiful.
