There’s just something about making a hot cup of coffee right at home that makes it taste all that much better. I love it when the delicious aroma of my Folgers Coffeehouse Blend permeates through the whole house. Not to mention the fact that it also saves me a ton of money since I’m not purchasing my coffee at expensive coffee shops. Recently, I have been experimenting with different ways to prepare my morning coffee and I stumbled upon the French Press.
A French Press is a brewing apparatus that extracts coffee from the grounds through a process where you “bloom” or steep your coffee in boiling water. It is a favorite among coffee aficionados because it has a strong, true coffee flavor since the coffee to water ratio is higher in every cup. Most Hispanic households love to drink their coffee strong so I immediately knew that preparing my coffee this way would immediately catapult me back to my childhood in Spain.
I absolutely love my new royal blue French Press and the smooth and distinct taste of Folgers Coffeehouse Blend is the perfect pairing for it since its taste is smooth and rich at the beginning and finishes bold and robust. This coffee was especially designed to experiment with alternative brewing methods to tantalize the taste buds of even the most seasoned coffee drinker.

Love the French press coffee method because it always tastes so much richer! I have one so I should start using it more!
I love that there is finally an easier way to brew French press style. I don’t drink much coffee but always keep it in the house for guests.
I do not drink coffee, but a french press would make a great gift idea for the coffee drinkers in my life! Thank you for the wonderful idea!
My husband is a huge fan of the french press. He’s been doing it nearly 30 years, since discovering it in England all those years ago!
I don’t drink coffee – The french press looks fun and I am sure coffee drinkers I know would like it.
I don’t drink coffee, but this is great for all of those MANY coffee lovers out there! Thanks for sharing!
I have a coffee French press that I use in the office. Folgers is also one of my favorite brands.
I do not drink coffee, but I know my husband would like a French Press (he does enjoy his Keurig, though – we use the filter so as not to waste with the K-cups). I’ll show him your directions to get his take. 🙂
I worked at Starbucks through college and I can attest that making coffee in a French Press is by far the best way to brew. The smell, taste and color are so much better.
I absolutely love Folgers and it’s awesome to have a cup of it in the morning! It makes your morning complete, without a doubt. I would love to do this at home.
The french press is my favorite way for making coffee – it tastes delicious every time. Of course, I need like three french presses to make myself enough coffee for the day…that is another problem though 🙂
I have a friend who swears by the french press, but I’ve never tried it! He’s made me a cup and it was delicious though.
I don’t drink coffee but I keep things on hand for my in-laws and parents when they stay here overnight. I’ll have to show them this way to make coffee.
Mmm french press is really good. My new favorite is cold press. I’ve tried it with Folders and yum! I’m addicted to coffee though so give it to me anyway and I’ll be happy!
Wow, this is a brilliant idea. I love this brand of coffee, especially the aroma of it!
I’ve never tried using a French press before. When my husband used to drink coffee, we would use a Keurig!
OH I have to tell my husband about this he will love it. Thanks so much for sharing.
Freshly pressed coffee always tastes so good and yours looks divine. I need a coffee press for early morning starts!
I’ve never used French Press Coffe but I really love the idea of it. I hear it tastes great. I’ll have to give it a try.
Yum! I LOVE a good cup of Joe. I need to get a French Press and give this a try. Christmas is right around the corner 🙂
We use a Keurig machine every day. We do like the Folgers brand too!
I LOVE FRENCH PRESSES!! They are seriously my favorite way to prep coffee. I feel like the taste is so much bolder it is wonderful. We are currently enjoying this Folgers flavor too.
I am more of a tea person, but my sister loved Folgers. However I often roast coffee beans in my oven just for the aroma.
I have always wanted a french press. I bet this smells amazing in your home.
French Press coffee is always so amazing. I can taste it right now and Folgers is top notch for sure.
French press is seriously my favorite way to enjoy coffee! I can not think of any other way that makes it more flavorful.
We love out french press. Anytime my in-laws visit they request french press coffee. I think our house is the only time they get to enjoy it.
I’m not even a coffee lover but loved the way you described the coffee making! Has a nice homely feeling!
1996, The Witchery Restaurant, Edinburgh, Scotland. First time I had French press coffee and I’ve never looked back! What’s a Kuerig?
