Variations of chilled coffee appeared globally, but cold brew truly took off in the U.S. in the early 2000s, helped by brands like Stumptown and later innovations like nitro. Today it’s everywhere—from glass-tower slow drip to ready-to-drink bottles—still defined by patience and clarity.

First patented in Milan in 1929, it introduced a simple full-immersion method: steep coffee in hot water, then press a metal filter to separate the grounds. Later refined and popularized in France in the 1950s, it earned its iconic name and spread worldwide. Loved for its rich, full-bodied cup and its slow, hands-on ritual, the French press remains a timeless way to brew.

It comes from the Capuchin monks, whose brown robes matched the warm, tan color of coffee mixed with milk. In 18th-century Vienna, a drink called Kapuziner—coffee with cream, sugar, and sometimes foam—helped inspire what would later become the Italian cappuccino.
