1. WHICH ONE’S RIGHT FOR YOUR HOME OR OFFICE?
FRENCH PRESS OR DRIP
COFFEE MACHINE

2. INTRODUCTION
• French presses and drip coffee machines are both
commonly used in homes and offices all over the
world.
• While drip coffee machines are much more
common in restaurants and coffee houses, French
press-style coffee is growing in popularity in those
places as well, and many customers are willing to
pay a premium for a cup of French press coffee.

3. INTRODUCTION
• If you’re debating what type of device you should
buy, there are some major differences in how you
prepare coffee and what you’ll need you should
know about.
• Knowing these differences will likely help you make
a more informed decision when it comes to which
device to use for your coffee.

4. FRENCH PRESS PREPARATION
• When using a French press to
make coffee, the preparation
is a bit more complicated.
• However, many people
appreciate the process of
making a cup of coffee, and
enjoy the ritual of using a
French press when they want
a cup of coffee.

5. FRENCH PRESS PREPARATION
• To make coffee using a French press, you’ll need to
first allow the water to boil before adding it to the
grounds in the bottom of the press.
• The mixture should be stirred and allowed to steep
for four to seven minutes depending on the desired
strength of the coffee.

6. FRENCH PRESS PREPARATION
• Once the allotted steeping time has passed, the
plunger should be depressed and the coffee should
ideally be transferred to individual cups or a thermal
carafe, as leaving it in the French press will result in
very strong coffee since it will technically still be
steeping.

7. FRENCH PRESS PREPARATION
• Typically, it takes most people about 10 to 15
minutes to make a pot of French press coffee. For
some people, that’s a significant time investment.
For others, it’s a necessary part of enjoying a good
cup of coffee.

8. DRIP COFFEE MACHINE PREPARATION
• Unlike a French press, the preparation for using a
drip coffee maker isn’t really preparation at all.
• All you need to do to use a drip coffee machine is
to add the right amount of water to the machine
and the right amount of coffee to the filter area.
• The machine will heat the water to the desired
temperature and brew your coffee for you.

9. DRIP COFFEE MACHINE PREPARATION
• Making a pot of drip coffee usually takes less than
ten minutes.
• Many newer drip coffee machines will brew coffee
in less than five minutes, making it a quick,
convenient method.

10. COFFEE SUPPLIES
• When using a French press, supplies you need are
included.
• Replacement filters and plungers aren’t needed
often, and replacement glass carafes are readily
available if one does break.
• When using a French press, you’ll need medium to
coarse ground coffee. You can buy this in many
coffee shops or buy whole beans and grind your
own.

11. CONCLUSION
• For a drip coffee machine, you’ll need a few more
coffee supplies, like paper filters or a washable gold
filter.
• Gold filters come in many high-quality coffee
machines, but paper filters are inexpensive, and
some people prefer the taste of coffee made with
paper filters since it absorbs some of the oil naturally
present in coffee.
• For a drip coffee machine, any standard ground
coffee will work.
