10 Reviews: Best Coffee Beans for French Press (Apr 2024)

Ruby Coffee Roasters has created the Creamery Blend for you. The creamery is Ruby Roasters’ go-to seasonal coffee blend, with an emphasis on depth and balance in the cup. Excellent for smooth, vivid espresso and chocolaty, sweet drip coffee. With a gentle, agreeable acidity, enjoy the rich aromas of dark chocolate and toasted almonds.

I'm no coffee expert, but even I can see why it's described as sweet and syrupy on their site. It pairs extremely well with Hazelnut and Milk It's super tempting to make it a daily driver, but there's so many Portland roasters it'll likely be more of a special coffee

Two Volcanoes provide a gourmet coffee experience at home that is comparable to that of a high-end coffee shop without the expensive cost. These Arabica and Robusta beans are grown naturally then processed and packaged in Guatemala, ensuring freshness and quality. It’s a lovely oily whole bean that works nicely with full immersion brewing.

I'm not a barista or coffee expert but I can say that this coffee arrived quickly and tastes great. In fact I am enjoying a cup as I write this review. I hand grind my beans and use a french press. I find these beans have a nice full medium rich flavor. They aren't oily and blend nicely with flavored coffee creamers. I will definitely buy again.

Fresh Roasted Coffee LLC’s Organic Bali Blue Moon is another option. This single-origin coffee is sourced in the Kintamani Highlands of Bali, Indonesia, and is certified organic. These Bali coffee trees are flanked by tangerines and orange trees, and the beans seem to have a bit more sweetness and acidity than typical Indonesian varieties.

This is a good roast. I have been trying many of the roasts by this company. this one is pretty good. I find it somewhat lighter in body than some of the other medium roasts. I'm not sure if I will pick this one again or go back to my standbys of Tanzanian peaberry and Kenya AA. It is a nice body and well rounded flavor for someone that doesn't want a heavy or bitter coffee.

These medium-coarse grounds are made in Germany using 100% Arabica beans from Ethiopia. The medium roast produces a coffee that is smooth, flavorful, and low in acidity and bitterness. The grounds are vacuum-sealed in brick-shaped packaging to help keep them fresh throughout shipping and storage. You will not be able to reseal the package after opening it once you are ready to use the grounds since it is not meant to be a container while the grounds are in use.

You deserve this coffee.
Consistent flavour and quality-no bitterness. I love ordering this and continue to purchase, its actually less expensive then the local coffee roasters in town.
Highly suggest you buy it!!
Until I can actually go to Munchen Dallmayr cafe and be a spokesperson :)

The Dark Guatemalan from Coffee Bean can be the ideal choice for you if you prefer your beans dark and oily. These beans come from a single source on the volcanic hills of southern Guatemala. Slow roasting gives these Arabica beans a deeper, richer taste profile. Due to the obvious dark roast, the coffee has a robust flavor and aroma. These beans, although having a dark roast, have a strong acidic taste. 

Just made my first pot with these beans... a very smooth Costa Rican roast.

The beans are not oily and seem pretty fresh. A nice medium roast and an excellent breakfast coffee...

I'd rank this up there with some of the better local brands. Once I went to Costa Rica, I found out how nice their coffee was...

This did not disappoint.. highly recommend.

These medium-roasted grounds, made with 100% Arabica beans and roasted in Italy, offer a rich, balanced coffee with caramel and chocolate notes. The innovative packaging provides for the taste sacrifices that are common when vacuum-sealing coffee in a tin. To avoid a gritty, muddy cup of coffee, strain the brewed coffee through a paper filter as you pour it out of the carafe.

This has become My favorite coffee. I keep ordering more! Comes vacuum sealed for freshness so it’s perfect to throw one in the freezer for later. The flavor isn’t too strong, just perfect.

Despite being imported from Ethiopia, these artisanal beans are roasted in New York City. For a balanced taste and acidity, the beans are roasted to a medium degree. Ethiopia produces some of the world’s best coffee beans, and this one does not disappoint in terms of aroma and taste.

This dark roast coffee has an amazing smell and flavor. It is not dry and not artificially moistened. It is perfectly done and keeps all the oils. Highly recommended.

This dark-roasted coffee blend is comprised entirely of Arabica beans of the highest quality. For its coarser grind size, it’s ideal for use in a French press. Coffee drinkers who like a stronger-tasting brew may find the taste of these beans to be a touch too subtle. It gets bonus marks for having a one-way valve for safe degassing on the front of the bag.

My Mom got me to try Community Coffee, and I've really enjoyed trying the different flavors and varieties of special roasts, from breakfast to dark. I really think if more people tried Community Coffees, they'd be satisfied customers, just like me. Thanks for making coffee that you look forward to waking up with!

Ethiopia is known as the home of coffee, and coffee from this area is still recognized as some of the best available today. Ethiopian beans are known for making fruity coffees, and notes of blueberry are common in some of their greatest offerings. This bag of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee works nicely in the French Press, and once brewed, the floral and fruit tones from the Arabica beans farmed in the region for decades will be instantly noticeable.

Very satisfied with the coffee and the service I have been purchasing coffee from volcanica for over a year. My friend in West Virginia has been buying from for over a year also. We are both very satisfied with the coffee and the service. The coffee is consistently good.We would both recommend Volcanica as a coffee provider.

While it is marketed as a cold brew product, it can also be used for French press brewing. These dark-roasted coarse coffee beans are made from single-origin Colombian Supremo beans that are 100 percent Arabica. It has a smooth and balanced flavor profile with robust, somewhat sweet aromas and mild acidity. The package contains a one-way valve for degassing while keeping freshness and is housed in a resealable daypack.

Don’t get me wrong, this is a very bold blend. I am usually more for a lighter blend, not a dark roast. But, I must say this is delicious. I let this steep overnight for about ~18 hours. I mixed with some heavy cream and sweet cream foam and man this was a delicious cold brew. If you’re looking for a review to tell you this is better than Starbucks cold brew, this isn’t it. It’s not better than Starbucks but it is enough for me to stop going to Starbucks everyday for some expensive cold brew. I would buy this and brew again.
