Your guide to Green Coffee Beans for French Press Brewing

  • What makes a coffee well-suited to French Press brewing?

    Coffees with good body, sweetness, and structure tend to shine in a French Press. Because it’s a full-immersion method with minimal filtration, you’ll taste more of the coffee’s natural texture and oils. That makes it ideal for origins like Brazil, or processes like natural and honey, which naturally enhance richness.

  • Do I need to roast differently for French Press?

    A light-to-medium roast with a touch more development works well for French Press. You want to highlight body and sweetness without introducing bitterness or muting flavour. A bit more roast depth than you’d use for pour-over often improves results.

  • How does French Press brewing affect flavour?

    French Press softens acidity and amplifies body. It brings out the rounder, deeper qualities in a coffee - chocolate, nut, caramel, and dried fruit notes tend to come through clearly. It’s not about clarity, but comfort, balance, and a satisfying mouthfeel.

Your questions, answered

What should I look for in a green coffee for French Press?

Look for coffees with natural sweetness, heavier body, and flavour notes like chocolate, nuts, or soft fruit. Brazilian coffees are a great starting point, but many naturals and honey-processed lots from other origins also work well.

Is French Press a good method for fruity coffees?

It can be, but it depends on the fruit profile. Deep berry or stewed fruit notes from naturals often work well, especially if they’re sweet and round. High-acid or floral coffees may lose some clarity or feel muddled in this brew method.

Does grind size matter with French Press?

Yes - a coarse, even grind is key to avoiding over-extraction and sediment. Too fine, and you’ll get bitterness or sludge; too coarse, and the brew may end up weak or sour. Aim for a consistency similar to raw sugar.

Can I use these coffees in other brew methods too?

Absolutely. Many coffees that work in French Press will also perform well in immersion brewers like the Clever Dripper or Aeropress, or even as an espresso shot -p especially if they’re balanced and sweet.
