But based on my experience paying for quality French presses is more than worth the money over time.

 

Personally I do like my current brand which has a unique design for the metal filter. Rivers Press Hoop.

 

 

I was going to suggest the International newspaper/book shop, but I think I got the wrong end of the stick.

Its coffee press patented by an Italian. The French often get bent out of shape when you mention it.

Some people have an aversion to "foreign" words.  My ancient parents could not bring themselves to say the word "croissant", insisted on referring to them as "continental buns".

... And if you need today, widely available in home shops contrary to few years ago. Watsadu, Mr diy and others as well

Friendship Supermarket upstairs.....

I've seen them at Central Festival, in the Central department store.  And I think at that place next to Foodland.  Other than that, Lazada would be a great place to shop.  Delivered to your door.

Could somebody please explain the difference between this method ie pour boiling water onto ground coffee, leave for a few minutes, push down the plunger which filters out the grounds, or pouring boiling water onto ground coffee, stirring it a few times, leave for a few minutes, pour into a paper filter eg kitchen tissue in a strainer. Thanks.

I bought mine on Chilindo for about 100b. Been using it everyday for over a year. Makes a liter at a time. Cant beat it for the money

Making coffee is basically extracting the oils from the beans, different methods result in a better extraction of the oils, An espresso machine uses heat and force (steam), a plunger uses heat and less force (compression), a drip filter uses heat and gravity.

Food Mart, on the corner of Threppaya and Thep Prasit, used to have French presses and the plastic filter cups that sit on top a coffee cup and use the standard paper coffee filters.

 

With a French press you wind up with fine coffee grinds that pass through the metal mesh filter into your coffee.  Leave the last 1/4" (5-6 mm) of coffee in the cup and you will avoid ingesting most of these gritty coffee grinds.

 

With a paper filter you remove even the fine coffee grinds.  The standard disposable paper coffee filters won't add a taste to your coffee, which can happen with other types of filters such as kitchen paper towels.  Filtering coffee through a paper filter will remove some of the bitter oil that you can get from coffee.  Removing the oil is a plus or a minus depending on what you want your coffee to taste like.

 

I usually use an automatic drip coffee maker for my daily coffee but if I want a special cup of coffee I use espresso grind coffee in a French press (bought from Lazada) to get the full taste of the darker roast more bitter espresso coffee.

Was a coffee shop in Pattaya Neua near Fairtex which had a selection.. 

IKEA, online or go to Bangna 

I have had several glass French presses that have broken easily. I found this stainless one on Lazada that has lasted me for years now.   https://www.lazada.co.th/products/french-press-stainless-steel-coffee-maker-800ml1000ml-i1797560417-s5317216655.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.63.42f55375zZOKdd&search=1
