5 French Press Espresso-like Drink Recipes
While a French press isn't traditionally used for making espresso, you can still create espresso-like drinks and classic coffeehouse favorites with a French press. Here are some classic espresso drinks you can make using a French press:
1. French Press Americano:
Brew a strong batch of French press coffee using a fine grind. Dilute the coffee with hot water to your desired strength, typically using a 1:1 ratio of coffee to water. Serve it as an Americano, which is similar to a long black coffee.
2. Mocha with French Press Coffee:
Make a strong French press coffee. In a saucepan, mix equal parts coffee and milk (or your choice of milk substitute). Add cocoa powder and sugar to taste, and heat the mixture until it's hot but not boiling. Pour the mocha mixture into a mug of your choice. Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired.
3. French Press Macchiato:
Brew a strong French press coffee. Froth a small amount of milk until it has a velvety texture. Pour the coffee into a cup and top it with the frothed milk. You can also add flavored syrups or caramel for extra flair.
4. French Press Cortado:
Brew a strong French press coffee. Heat an equal amount of milk until it's steaming hot. Pour equal parts coffee and hot milk into your cup, creating a cortado. It's a small but potent coffee beverage.
5. Iced Coffee with a French Press:
Brew a strong batch of French press coffee. (If you like your iced coffee sweet, pour hot coffee into a canister and mix with desired amount of sugar. When you mix sugar with hot coffee it bonds better in the mix and creates a sweeter beverage.) Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled. Serve it over ice cubes in your favorite glass.
While these drinks may not be traditional espresso-based beverages, they allow you to enjoy a variety of coffeehouse-style drinks using a French press. Experiment with different coffee-to-water ratios, grind sizes, and flavorings to create your own unique twist on these classic coffee concoctions.
We designed the 32-ounce stainless steel Nowhere Coffee Club Classic French press coffee maker with three things in mind:
- Brewing cafe-quality coffee
- Built to last a lifetime
- Sustainable in design & use
Here are a few benefits of using a Nowhere Coffee Club French press.
Enhanced taste. Enjoy full-bodied flavor with more of your coffee's natural oils and flavor that pourovers and paper filters strip away.
Full-control. Dial in your signature brew by adjusting brew time, coffee to water ratio, and grind size until you make better coffee than your local cafe! Maintain consistency whether you brew 8oz or 32oz.
Stays Hot. Double-walled insulated stainless steel with a sealed pour spout ensures an optimal brewing temperature as well keeps your second, third, or fourth cup nice and toasty.
Built to Last. We designed our coffee maker to last a lifetime. It's all stainless steel, no plastic, and analog. It's so strong we parked a Jeep on it!
Less Waste. Our filtering system is stainless steel so the only byproduct of our coffee making method is coffee grinds. We recommend you dispose of them in your garden or compost as they are beneficial to the Earth.
Chemical-free Coffee. We do not coat the inside of our carafe with a non-stick coating. It's completely unnecessary and not worth the potential future health risk.
Reinvesting. We founded our company knowing that we need to reinvest in the planet and people. So we started Another Tree Planted where we donate a portion of our profits from every sale to plant trees. We wanted to make a difference in our local communities and hopefully some day make a difference in our global communities.
