French press also extracts and preserves all the oils present in coffee beans, whereas drip/chemex filters them out.
As a sidenote, french press is also great for brewing tea, but keep your coffee and tea presses separated.
- JshWright 8y agoYou frame the difference in oils as a bad thing, but it's simply personal preference (I much prefer paper filtered coffee).
- nukeop 8y agoOnly because parent mentioned preferring that, in other posts in this thread people mentioned preferring the opposite.
- falcolas 8y agoIf you use a metal filter with the drip/chemex devices, you can get the volatile oils in your coffee as well. Same for the Aeropress (which does have a metal filter option as well).
