Making French press coffee is one of the most environmentally friendly ways to make your coffee, as the coffee grounds are the only waste you are producing with this method. A portable French press doesn’t take up too much space on your counter or in your kitchen cabinets, making it a great option for small-space living.
Below I listed the best French press coffee makers that fit perfectly in a modern interior. Because everything that you leave out on the countertop better has a nice design, that’s at least how I try to decorate my kitchen.
