French Press Starter Pack

A starter bundle for anyone moving onto a French press, or anyone new to Contact Coffee who wants the kit and the coffee in one box. Includes everything you need to get started: ground coffee, a cafetière, and a mug.

What's in the bundle

Four 100g sample bags

Four of our best-selling blends, 100g of each. Enough for multiple brews per bag, so you can find your favourite before committing to a full 227g. Ground for French press, but versatile enough for most brew methods.

Timemore French Press

A 450ml cafetière built for clean, on-the-move brewing. Non-shatter glass body in a protective sleeve, stainless steel filter, no cheap parts. See the Timemore French Press page for full specs.

Mug of your choice

Heavy ceramic, matte black, stamped with one of our four designs (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, or Delta). The kind of mug you guard at work because everyone wants to steal it.

How to brew with the French press

1. Add 25 to 30g of coarse-ground coffee to the press.
2. Pour 400ml of hot water (93 to 96°C) over the grounds.
3. Stir gently. Place the lid on with the plunger up.
4. Wait 4 minutes.
5. Press the plunger down slowly. Pour and drink.
