How can something with just two ingredients (coffee beans and water) have so many endless variations and possibilities? On the one hand it’s fun to discover the countless differences between this and that type of coffee or this or that brewing method but on the other hand it can honestly be a little maddening to wade through all the geekery to make just the right cup. And there are so many coffee geekeries out there huh?

French Press vs. Pour Over – What’s the Difference? ☕ The ULTIMATE Comparison!
If you’re wondering whether a French press or pour-over brewing method is right for you you might just want someone to come along and tell you the differences between the two. Of course only a poor carpenter would blame the tools for sloppy work and no matter which brewer you choose you want to make sure you’re getting the best ingredients (water coffee) and keep trying until you get a cup that’s right for you. It’s not always easy the first few times but trust us it’s always worth it.
Although French press pots come in a variety of sizes colors and materials a press pot is usually a press pot. They almost always have a glass stainless steel or plastic brewing pitcher and a plunger top with a movable mesh to push the coffee grounds to the bottom of the pot and hold them for serving. The design is so simple and straightforward that anyone can figure out how to use it. The only real instruction for brewing coffee is right there in the name: press it down!
One disadvantage however is that the coffee does not keep for long in the coffee press because it cools down quickly and becomes bitter if left for too long.
