The house I’m staying in only has a French Press, so I am pressing and it’s pretty great coffee but… 

Does a French press always leave some coffee sludge in the cup? 

Are my beans ground too fine? 

Do you use a French press daily?

French press coffee often has sediment due to the metal mesh filter. To reduce it:
- Use a coarser grind
- Let coffee settle before pressing
- Pour carefully, leaving the last bit in the press

French presses are popular for daily use due to the full-bodied flavor they produce.

Want to know more? Ask me:

What are some other brewing methods that produce a full-bodied flavor similar to French press?

What are the key factors that contribute to French press coffee's distinct flavor profile?

Excessive sediment may indicate your beans are ground too fine. French press coffee works best with a coarse grind. While some coffee enthusiasts use French presses daily, it's a personal preference based on taste and convenience.
