A cafetière, also known as a French press, is an immersion brewing method where coffee grounds steep in hot water before being separated by a metal mesh plunger. This method produces a rich, full-bodied coffee with more oils and depth compared to filter coffee.

A cafetière uses immersion brewing, meaning the coffee steeps in water for several minutes rather than being extracted under pressure. This results in a fuller body and richer mouthfeel, but without the crema you get in espresso.

The ideal steeping time is four minutes. Longer steeping can lead to over-extraction and bitterness, while shorter steeping may result in a weak cup.
