What's the best coffee in the French kettle? To a large extent, this can be attributed to personal preference, but generally speaking, medium and dark baked beans are the best choice.

The first thing to do is to preheat the French filter press. This is an important step in all coffee brewing methods.

Preheating the brewing equipment can prevent the fluctuation of the brewing temperature because the cold equipment and hot water are balanced with each other.
