French Press Coffee and Tea Bundle by Kitchen Supreme

Being a coffee lover, I had always wondered what a french press was and how it was different than a regular coffee pot. Recently, I got to test one out by Kitchen Supreme.

A french press helps you achieve a creamy, foamy, velvety, and pure coffee and tea so they say. I wasn't sure if I was actually going to be able to tell much of a difference but I certainly did.

I've only tried the french press with coffee so far but I think it's neat that you can make tea with it also. I'm also a huge tea drinker so I'm looking forward to using it for tea soon.

I feel as though the coffee was more rich and smooth when I used the french press versus my regular drip coffee pot and a lot less bitter. I loved all the flavors it brought out. I couldn't believe that I was not experiencing my coffee's full potential.

The process was fairly simple. The first time I used it was a bit time consuming because I didn't have my coffee grounds ground up before I started so I had to measure it all out first. But once I got everything prepared it was  quick and easy.

The first thing I did was fill the french press with hot water to let everything heat up, as it was heating up I put 4 cups of water in a microwave safe measuring cup and heated it until it was boiling. I then took it out and set it aside for about 30 seconds and in the meantime I dumped out the hot water that was sitting in the french press. Then I took 4 tablespoons of the ground coffee and put down in the french press and added the water I just boiled but just enough to cover the grounds. I then put the lid on and let it sit for 1 minute. After 1 minute I gently "stirred the bloom" or the coffee grounds on top being careful not to touch the sides of the french press. Then I poured the rest of the hot water in and put the lid back on. (You don't push the plunger down yet at this point) I then let it sit for 3 additional minutes. Afterwards, I pushed the plunger slowly down until I felt resistance. Once you do that, your DONE! I suggest pouring the coffee out into another pitcher or pot so that it doesn't get bitter.

The instructions seem complicated but trust me, after the first time it's a breeze!

This french press comes with:

•  4 filter screens
• 1 stainless still spoon
• 1 coffee/tea scoop
• Hard Copy instructions and Barista secrets

I felt that the instructions were very useful. I especially liked the Barista secrets.

Overall, I'm super impressed with this french press. It far exceeded my expectations and I will be using it A LOT!!
