Brew Bold with Your Electric French Press Coffee Kit

How to Use Your Electric French Press Coffee Kit

Step 1 – Heat the Water

Fill your kettle to the 16 oz max line, press DRINK mode to boil. Remove the lid and let it cool 1–2 minutes to about 203 °F (~95 °C).

Step 2 – Grind and Brew

30g coffee, ground medium-coarse (sea-salt texture).

*Use a 1 : 15 ratio (coffee:water) or slide to 1 : 16 for a lighter body.

Add the grounds, stir gently once with the mixing stick (one direction).
Bloom for 1.5-4 mins.

Step 3 – Press Slowly

After blooming & brewing time, slowly press the filter, stopping just above the bottom. This avoids disturbing the grounds and keeps your final pour clean.

Step 4 – Serve and Enjoy

Pour immediately, inhale the aroma, savour the body—this is your chill-morning vibe in a cup.

Traditional French Press Coffee – The Roots & Ritual

Origins & Evolution

The earliest forerunner of the press method came in 1852, when Frenchmen Henri‑Otto Mayer and Jacques‑Victor Delforge patented a basic filter-piston device.
In 1929, Italians Attilio Calimani and Giulio Moneta patented a version with a seal-fitted plunger and mesh filter—much closer to the modern press.
The design most of us recognise was refined by Faliero Bondanini in 1958 under the brand “Chambord” and popularised across Europe.

Traditional Brewing Method

Fill a manual press with coarse ground coffee, pour in hot (but not boiling) water, cover, steep for ~3–4 minutes.
Then press the plunger down, separate the grounds from the brew, and pour. Letting the brew sit too long on the grounds can cause over-extraction and bitterness.
Strengths: the immersion method (coffee grounds in water) lets you extract a rich body and oils, giving a bold, full-flavoured cup.
Limitations: Separate kettle or heat source needed; manual timing and temperature control; sometimes more sediment/grit; takes more “set up” in the routine.

Why People Love It

Because it’s simple and craft-oriented. The manual press method connects you to the coffee — the touch of the plunger, the bloom, the scent as you lift the lid. It’s vintage, tactile, and yields a cup with personality.

Why Our Electric French Press Kit Is the Game-Changer

Plug-in Convenience Meets Craft

Where the traditional press needs a kettle, a separate carafe, monitoring the temp, and manual timing — your electric kit bundles it all: water heat + brew + press all in one system.

You boil the water in the same pot, cool to ~203 °F, add grounds, bloom, press — all steps unified. Fewer tools, fewer decisions.

Less Sediment, Smarter Workflow

While many manual presses end up with extra grit or require decanting to avoid over-extraction, the electric kit’s precision lets you optimise bloom, press speed, and extraction so your cup stays clean.

Also, because the entire process is contained in one device, you’re less likely to mis-time a step or over-steep the grounds.

Ideal for Modern Lifestyles

At home in kitchens, tiny apartments, mobile rigs, or camper vans — this kit suits people who want great craft-coffee but don’t want to wrestle with kettle-watching, buzzers or extra cleanup.

It bridges the vintage craft of the French press with the ease of modern plug-in gear.

Quick Comparison: Traditional vs. Electric Kit

Feature	Traditional French Press	Electric French Press
Heat Source	Separate kettle or stovetop	Built-in heating in the same kit
Setup Complexity	More steps: boil water, transfer, monitor temp	One device: fill water → press boil → add coffee
Workflow Time	Requires manual timing & attention	More streamlined and automated steps
Sediment / Clean-up	More room for user variation → more sediment	Pressing & integrated system reduces variation
Portability/Convenience	Good, but needs extra tools	Single-unit, less gear required

Pro Tips for Even Better Cup

Use a burr grinder for consistent medium-coarse grounds.
Pre-warm the carafe (electric kit or traditional) to keep brew temp stable.
Stick to the ratio: 1 : 15 (or 1 : 16) to hit that sweetness-to-body balance.
Don’t over-press or press too fast — slow, steady is smoother.
Serve immediately after pressing to prevent over-extraction.
Clean the mesh/filter mechanism regularly — build-up affects flavour.

Final Sip

Whether you’re leaning back in a hammock, perched at your kitchen counter, or brewing on a weekend road trip — your electric French press coffee kit brings together the best of the classic press method and the needs of a modern lifestyle.

You get that rich, aromatic, full-bodied brew that the French press has earned its legend for — but without the extra gear or guesswork.

Set it up, press go, savour that first sip.

Here’s to your perfect morning brew under the chilling sun. ☕️
