A French press may look like an old-fashioned contraption to prepare your morning cup of coffee, but it is not all that complicated. You measure out your ground coffee—which will taste better if you freshly grind it—and hot water, combining both in the cylinder of the press. Stir, let steep, depress the plunger, and pour for one of the best cups of coffee that you can brew at home. Ditch the coffee makers that use paper filters and throw that complicated single-serving monstrosity in the dumpster, all you’re making with those is waste and watery coffee.
Bodum Brazil 34-Ounce French Press

Using a stainless steel mesh filter, you will get a rich cup of coffee, without the waste of a paper filter. For a great cup of coffee, measure grounds and water, pour into the carafe, stir, place the plunger at the top of the grounds, let steep four minutes, press the plunger down, and serve. Great coffee made easy.
