Use a coarse grind (roughly the size of sea salt) for French Press. Fine grounds will pass through the metal filter, causing sediment and a bitter taste. Coarse grounds produce a clean, full-bodied cup. A 4-minute steep time is ideal.
French Press uses a metal mesh filter, which allows coffee oils to pass into the cup. Paper-filtered methods like V60 and Chemex absorb these oils. This is why French Press coffee has a fuller body, creamier mouthfeel, and richer flavor profile.
For someone making one French Press daily (approximately 30 grams of coffee), a 1 KG bag lasts about 33 days. Since coarse-ground coffee goes stale slightly faster than whole beans, be sure to store it in an airtight container.
1 kilogram of French Press coffee is a coarse-ground specialty coffee engineered for immersion brewing. The full-bodied, creamy and rich profile characteristic of the French Press method makes this the economical bulk choice for households that brew a press every morning.
Each French Press brew uses approximately 30-35 grams of coffee (for a 500 ml pot). At that rate, a 1 kg bag delivers about 28-33 brews — roughly a month's supply for someone who makes one press per day.
The biggest advantage of a 1 kg pre-ground French Press bag is sheer convenience. You skip the grinding step entirely in your morning routine. And because coarse-ground coffee has less exposed surface area than finer grinds, it resists aroma loss more effectively — a helpful trait for a larger bag.
When choosing beans for French Press, full-bodied, sweet profiles shine brightest. Brazilian, Colombian and Guatemalan origins pair naturally with the method's oily, velvety texture. Chocolate, hazelnut and caramel notes become even richer when extracted through immersion. Our 1 kg French Press blend is specifically designed to highlight these flavour families.
Coarse-ground coffee loses aroma more slowly than fine grinds. In a 1 kg bag, this extra resilience really counts.
For French Press, choose low-acidity, high-body origins like Brazil and Colombia for the richest results.
Time every brew at exactly 4 minutes with a timer. Consistency is the key to a great cup, press after press.
