Best beans for french press coffee?

Question

Howdy, Just bought a french press and grinder to use at my desk at work. I have no idea as to which type of beans I should buy and use. And I'm not a fan of anything "flavored". Just angry, angry coffee.

Answer 1

If money is no object, get Kona coffee, Arabica or Robusto.

What's more important is how you grind your beans. You should grind the beans just before brewing and use a coarse grind so that you don't end with a cup full of sludge.

Answer 2

I prefer Columbian coffee to me it taste smoother.  A simple choice but the best.

Answer 3

It would probably be best to use a darker roast for a more full-bodied flavor coffee. French Presses usually make stronger coffee rather than weaker and their plungers work better with coarse-ground dark roast coffee.

Answer 4
