Can you use a French Press for things other than coffee?

The Versatile French Press: Not Just for Coffee

Commonly seen as a tool exclusively for brewing coffee, the French Press is far more versatile than many realise. Yes, it can make your morning cup of coffee, but it can also be used to brew tea, make broth, whip up frothy milk, and even create infused drinks and cocktails.

“A French Press does not allow you to brew coffee only; it lets you explore a world of beverages with ease and convenience.”

Brewing Tea

The French Press is not exclusive to coffee beans; it is an excellent tool for steeping loose-leaf tea as well. The process is quite similar to making coffee, ensuring that your tea leaves have ample space to expand and steep properly.

Making Broth

Creating a clear and aromatic broth using a French Press is another great use. The press can separate the liquid from the solid ingredients, leaving you with a pure, flavorful broth.

Whipping Up Frothy Milk

With a bit of heat and a few pumps, you can use your French Press to froth milk for your cappuccinos and lattes.

Creating Infused Drinks

Infuse water, spirits, or other beverages with fresh fruits, herbs, and spices using a French Press. It is a straightforward way to enhance the flavour of your drinks.
