French Press Maker Questions


French Press Maker
Can I use espresso in a French press?

Can I use ground espresso in a French press coffee maker?

Would this be too strong? Would it make a mess?

No, you can’t.

Here’s why:
1) That fine of a grind will over extract & be bitter. Larger chunks require longer for the flavors to release (20-30seconds for espresso vs 3-4 minutes for french press)
2) If you read the instructions included with a french press they warn against using too fine a grind. The reason isn’t that it will get through the filter; it’s that the grounds will clog the filter. If that happens, you won’t be able to easily depress the plunger and the pressure may send scalding bitter coffee all over the place (& you).
