J.L. Hufford French PressJ. L. Hufford French Press 8 Cups The press holds enough to make 8 cups, or 1 liter, at a time. Few coffee makers boast the speed and simplicity of the French press. Coarse grounds are added to hot water and then filtered by plunging the mesh sieve through the finished coffee. J. L. Hufford's French press comes with three filters for easy replacement in case one wears out. Taste the difference freshly ground, freshly brewed coffee can make!
