French Press is a delicious and easy way to start your morning with manual brew coffee. It provides fresh brewed coffee with a full body and not a lot of specialized extra equipment. Because it is a "full immersion" method, you get all of the coffees body and flavor and if you do it right, very little sediment. 

#protips
- Pour coffee into mugs or thermos immediately to prevent over-extracting (bitterness).
- Minimize sediment by not-pouring the last ~1.5 ounces
