About a year ago we made a major switch to our brew coffee program: we put away our hyper-expensive Clover machine and our conventional drip filter brewer machine in exchange for brewing all our non-espresso coffee with a French Press. A press is arguably the simplest way of brewing a spectacular cup of coffee. This simple and traditional brewing method extracts the truest flavours out of our coffees, doing proper justice to their individual characteristics. The clarity of flavours is also complemented by a creamier and heavier body not attainable in any other brewing method.

The Baristas in our cafe all welcomed this change for many reasons:
-No more scrubbing out brewed coffee pots, press pots simply need to be rinsed out when finished brewing.
-Significantly less garbage; there is no more need to use a one-time-use paper filter, now we just put the coffee grinds right into the compost.
-We all prefer a more hands-on approach to coffee making; instead of pushing buttons and letting a machine do all the work, we're now stirring and pouring the coffee ourselves as well as adjusting grinds, coffee amounts, and brew times for each individual coffee to get the best possible extraction of flavours and the smoothest body.

This delicious and easy brewing method really puts the personality back into coffee and coffee making (just like the people at 2% Jazz).
