What is a French press used for?

My brother-in-law uses this exclusively. Too much sludge for me, but I hear it brews tea nicely, so I may try it for that.

Had mine for years after a visit to Ireland.

Breathe Easy, My frau produces a unique flavor also, especially after I give her a German press

My wife occasionally uses hers. It produces a unique flavor.

Rose, So sad to hear. I love it!
