Getting yourself an awesome ESPRO French Press is a no-brainer. It makes the smoothest, grit-free coffee that rivals any overpriced cup from your local coffee shop. But when you pair our classic French Press with our Micro Tea Filter, you’ve opened the door to so many more drink and cocktail possibilities. Case in point: this Pimm’s Press Batch Cocktail. Our French Press infuses lemon, cucumber, strawberries, and mint into Pimm’s No. 1 (which is deliciously gin-based, by the way). Depending on how strong you like your cocktails, this recipe will make between eight and 16 servings. And just like the coffee made in our French Press, the first cup is sure to be as good as the last.
