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.
