The best coffees for French press brewing

French press brewing demands a coffee that holds its own against a full-immersion steep. We have curated 16 lots from our catalog that excel in this format. The selection is diverse, featuring 4 washed and 3 natural processed coffees alongside honey and experimental lots. You will find familiar varieties like Caturra and Bourbon represented, sourced from regions ranging from the Cerrado in Brazil to the Oromia region of Ethiopia. Press Coffee Roasters leads our list with four distinct offerings, followed by strong contributions from Dear Green Coffee Roasters and DOMA Coffee Roasting Company. These coffees are chosen for their ability to produce a heavy, textured body and clear flavor profile when paired with the metal mesh filtration of a press.

What to taste for:Look for a heavy, syrupy mouthfeel and well-defined sweetness that persists through the final sip.
