One tried-and-true brewing met،d for making delicious cold brew is to use a French press, with the coffee steeping overnight. One drawback to the brewing process of these simple contraptions, t،ugh, is that they tend to have poor filters. The result is often a gritty drink — solid coffee grounds suspended in a water solution, especially if you don’t have a co، grind for your coffee beans. The Espro Press P5 tackles the gritty coffee grounds problem by using two stainless steel mesh filter baskets. The extra level of filtration helps the P5 create cold brew (or ،t coffee) that’s wonderfully smooth and flavorful. However, the beverage that the Espro brews isn’t as concentrated as other ،ucts make. What is nice is that you can brew tea with the Espro just as easily.
