French presses

Steeping coffee devices

French presses are coffee makers that brew by steeping coarse grounds in hot water, then pressing a mesh plunger to separate them: I prefer my French press to a drip machine.

The same plunger design appears in milk frothers.

In weightlifting, a French press is a triceps exercise—lowering a weight behind the head and pressing it back up.
