Filter coffee / French Press

The filter retains the coffee grounds so that the coffee drips clear and clean into the coffee pot. The resulting filter coffee is usually milder and less oily than an espresso or a French press coffee.
The French press method, on the other hand, involves an immediate extraction of coffee by mixing ground coffee and hot water in a cylindrical vessel. After the coffee has been allowed to steep for a few minutes, the plunger of the French press is pushed down to separate the ground coffee from the liquid. The result is a fuller and oilier coffee with more body and more intense flavors. Although both methods produce different flavor profiles, personal preference plays an important role in choosing between filter coffee and French press. Some people prefer the clear and milder flavor of filter coffee, while others appreciate the rich and intense flavor of the French press variant.
