Would this be fine enough to filter coffee from french press?

I tested this with used drip coffee grounds from commercially ground coffee (Seattle's Best). About half of the grounds washed through. The other half did not and would not and were not easy to clean out. SO, if you grind your own coffee and it is larger than commercially ground coffee, it may work for you. I understand that is noncommittal but the truth based on my own testing for your question. I see another responder has had good results. Regardless of your success filtering for a French press, this filter does not let quinoa, millet or other small grains escape.

Yes, that's what I use it for at times, or you can just use a paper coffee filter with it,run hot water through it and let the french press have a day off now and then

If the basket holder in your coffee is flat bottomed this should fit. One thing you need to do is rinse the grounds out of the filter quickly so they will not ruin the basket. The coffee drinkers in my house prefer the basket to paper filters.

We use these in a commercial Bunn coffee maker with two pots..so I'm not sure. If you need a smaller filter...I have a load..let me know I'll send them to you.

It might, but I don't think it's a good choice. It's not as good as a paper filter. leaves too much coffee ground through. Sorry.

We just used it for hot water. If I remember correctly, there was an insert into which you could to make coffee. I would assume you would use a paper filter for it.

I haven't tried it in a french press, but good coffee is good coffee, so I don't see why it wouldn't be. I have used it in a Chemex (very simple coffee making process, like a french press: just hot water, filter, and glass container), and it worked well with that.

I have only used it for my french press. That grind is course. I did gain some respect for the grinder though and I think it would do well for any grind. Good luck.

You can strain it thru a natural paper coffee filter and it will be fine. Hope that helps.

Hi Cathy.......this is a very fine mesh material, I'm guessing it's made of nylon and yes, it should filter coffee grounds quite nicely.I think 4 or 5 of these come in a package and you can certainly 'rinse and repeat' often before replacement is likely to be needed.I say give it a shot.....you really have very little to lose for the price charged.hope this helps,mark

The wire mesh tends to allow the smallest particles through which is why french press grind is larger pieces than the grind for a regular coffee maker. As long as it's not enough to notice when you're drinking it should be fine.

Not at all. This is a standard French Press. The entire top and "filter" come out and can be rinsed.

I think that this mesh will be the correct porous-ness between the coffee filter and wire mesh strainer. I purchased it to use when make liver cleanse tea.

Strictly a guess..I would think so; but remember, you are making a concentrate with the filtron that lasts for days in the refrigerator , and it takes many hours. I'm not sure a French press would be convenient for something like that.

Well, not exactly - it's a bit too small but it does work if you're making less than 8 cups. Any more than that and the grounds will probably overflow the filter - at least that's what happened to me. I use paper filters when I'm brewing 8 cups or more.

This permanent filter is designed to work best with a standard grind of coffee. If the coffee is ground too fine, it may not produce the most desirable result.

I believe it will work, as long as the basket is a cylinder. Thread the filter through the support pole, push filter against the wall of the basket and fill with coffee. Then, thread the 4 corners through the pole and crush the rest of the filter over the coffee. The filter will be contained by the cover. I hope this helps.

No. It's a standard percolator coffee pot with tiny holes in the coffee ground basket, just use coarse ground coffee and there's no need for filters. (Like coffee pots in the 50's)
