For your daily cup, brewing coffee with a French press can be so much better than using an espresso machine.
It's like comparing apples to oranges – they both make coffee, but they do it in such different ways that you can't help but prefer one over the other.
Here are the 3 reasons why it is simply more practical to use a French Press.
First of all, a French press gives is so much more forgiving during the brewing process. You can adjust the temperature of the water and the duration of brewing to control the strength of the coffee. The coffee grind size does not impact the final product as much. With an entry-level espresso machine, you don't have that same level of control.
You can't adjust the temperature and brew time of the machine just to achieve the "Perfect" shot. That amazing cup of coffee that you drink at cafes can only be obtained with higher-end espresso machines and grinders that are out of consumer range.
Second, brewing with a French press is so much more affordable than using an espresso machine. Espresso machines can be really expensive – even the most basic models.
And then you need to factor in the cost of the beans, the grinders, the filters, and all the other accessories. With a French press, the cost is much lower and you don't have to worry about all the extra stuff.
Third, the taste of coffee brewed in a French press is much better.
Espresso machines tend to intensify flavors so any undesirable flavor such as bitterness or sourness is also intensified because of the high pressure used in the brewing process.
With a French press, the extraction is more consistent and gentle so harsh and undesirable flavors can be easily controlled with the brewing time.
Just left us a
star reviewI ordered a trial size of Brazilian coffee beans, and it arrived the day after roasting along with 60g of Tropic Daydream. Surprisingly, I found that I liked the Tropic Daydream even more! The whole beans were incredibly fresh and fragrant even before grinding. When I tried an espresso with oat milk, it tasted just like a latte from a cafe, but at only half the price and with 100% freshness. Today, experimenting with a coarser grind resulted in a lighter coffee taste. The convenience of the coffee beans subscription is a bonus; I can enjoy different beans every 6 weeks, and refills come directly to my house.
Quick, responsive and helpful customer services. Quality coffee that taste and smells wonderful
Coffee with origins and no regrets trying out! Grind is consistent, the fragrant and beans are all fresh!
Indonesian coffee was light roasted and flavourful. Yasumi has varied coffee bean varieties to suit different tastes. Subscription model is convenient and has a lot of discount perks for regulars.
Just brewed a cup of Tropic Daydream. Wonderful blend, so delicious. Right amount of acidity and body. Great customer service and responds to email timely. Thanks for the rebates as well.
One of my favourite coffee subscription services in Singapore: user-friendly interface, great rewards for continued subscription, and most important of all, I enjoy the beans!
Updated review on 18/4: The support team has reached promptly to explain the delayed shipment. Mentioned that my shipment was delayed because I placed an order after their roasting date, which I find the explanation satisfactory. And I received my subscription of coffee yesterday. It tasted great. Excellent service recovery team Yasumi 👌 Earlier review on 14/4: My subscription is due for renewal in 1 day but my earlier order hasn't been received despite placing an order 1 week ago. I don't like to be charged for a renewal product when my earlier product hasn't been shipped out and received. I will consider changing my review when the management looks into this. I have cancelled my earlier subscription.
I've tried different coffee subscription services before, and Yasumi is the best I've used. I make espressos at home, and their beans are excellent. I've had to ask for help with my subscription before and they were always very helpful and patient.
I got a trial subscription, the morning cup, and the French press. Customer service was great, and the package came fast. I tried both Brazil and Tropic Daydream. They were super aromatic and made my day. Looking forward to trying other coffee beans for my next subscription.
Love the coffee, always flexible to change the coffee flavour and comes in time!
Coffee is freshly roasted and I always receive them very swiftly! Appreciate the friendly and responsive customer support as well :) Very honest, local roasters!
The ease of coffee subscription cannot get any easier and fuss free. Not to mention the coffee taste superb. The coffee packet is almost always empty.
Have been a long time fan and subscriber of Yasumi coffee. Took on their subscription plan since I begun my coffee journey at home and never had to look elsewhere. They offer a wide range of flavours and origins, you can also customize your grind size if required. Freshly roasted beans every Tues and delivered to your doorstep. Highly recommended for all coffee enthusiast out there!
I do really love the YASUMI Coffee! It brings much much convenient for me, I have an espresso machine at home, so I could make a great cup of coffee everyday. Fresh grind the whole bean, fresh brew the double shot, fresh steam the milk, and then, a fresh cup of specialty coffee. I have order with YASUMI coffee since last year, which Im really happy with the fresh whole bean which deliver to my mail box everytime! and the teams are so cute that everytime will send you an email to inform you that your coffee is going to roast, going to deliver. And the other thing I like YASUMI is becuz they are very flexible which I could skip the slot when I need to travel. Appreciate a lot!
The package of coffee comes with tasting notes and coffee info. The coffee itself smells super good and the brewed coffee I chose is very smooth and less acidic. Perfect!
I bought their 250ml morning cup a few months ago. It is not worth the price. When it arrived, I could tell the quality wasn’t great. Coffee stains cannot be washed off or removed, and it looks terrible just after 1 month of usage. I’m very disappointed with the product.
Fuss-free coffee subscription! Love that I can easily switch up my beans, its grind, the schedule of roast and delivery. Most importantly, I’m pleased with the aroma and taste of the beans I got!
The trial pack is of course of great value and the experience of buying from Yasumi is seamless. The "Rwanda" washed coffee is a great filter roast.
Love the customer service from Yasumi. Have tried Brazil dark roast, Colombia and Nicaragua coffee beans. Enjoyed all 3 roasts very much. Yasumi coffee beans is of great quality. Amazing aromas!
Had some trouble with my mailing address and customer support was very patient and responsive
I got very good coffee bean quality with a reasonable price from Yasumi. Highly recommended.
Very quick response to my question that is accurately and clearly explained. The professionally designed online platform is customer centric and paid attention to details. I hope the coffee I’ll be receiving will be as good if not exceed my expectations. Pretty sure it will. Looking forward to my caffeine fix soon! Yes! Got my coffee earlier than expected. Got my caffeine fixed. Love the taste and can’t ask for more.
The delivery was fast. The beans was freshly roasted and the quality of the beans was good. I also received a free sample bag of coffee which i really appreciated
I started with the free trial and got hooked! Already tried 3 of 6 of their coffee and 4th one awaiting to be delivered. Beans are well roasted, flavourful and fresh.
Great trial, and they even gave an extra bag of coffee DURING THE FREE TRIAL!
Great coffee subscription service and very fuss-free. The beans they use are freshly roasted :)
Excellent specialty coffee roaster in Singapore at affordable prices. I'm always looking forward to my weekly delivery from Yasumi! The staff here are also really helpful and supportive!
great coffee and service. a little in the expensive end but they deliver in terms of quality
Chanced upon Yasumi on Instagram and decided to give them a try — was pleasantly surprised by an extra sample bag given and also the cards describing the coffee's tasting notes and processing description etc. Will definitely be repurchasing :)
We enjoy the latte so much brew with yasumi Colombia bean! After a trial I've decided to keep the subscription and receive the fresh high quality coffee bean regularly.
There customer service was excellent, they were able to resolve the issues the raised regarding my subscription
Signed up for the trial and only paid $0.99 for delivery. Received the coffee promptly after a few days in my letterbox. Packaging is SO cute and they even included tasting notes of the coffee beans sent! They even included a sample of another coffee bean for free :') Coffee beans were freshly roasted and smelt amazing when they arrived too :)
Subscribed to their weekly coffee beans. Beans are good, and overall a pleasant experience.
Coffee smells is good and aromatic. Even though I left it quite long but the coffee smells still lingers l.
It’s so convenient to make my regular cup at home with a coffee subscription. Yasumi coffee provides a satisfying cup of coffee with great customer service. Extending my subscription is a breeze, whenever I can’t finish my coffee in time… this ensures I get the best roast possible.
