When the temperature drops, coffee lovers everywhere trade in their iced lattes for rich, velvety espresso. With cooler mornings and more time spent at home, many of us are brewing more coffee than ever—and if you’re ready to elevate your at-home routine this fall, it might be time to consider moving beyond your French press.
At Faema Montreal, we carry a wide selection of automatic espresso machines from popular brands such as KitchenAid, Miele, Jura, and Bellucci, alongside classic French presses from Bodum, Bialetti, and Cuisinox. This guide helps Montreal coffee lovers compare the two brewing methods so you can decide if an upgrade makes sense this season.
Why Consider Upgrading This Fall
French presses are simple, aromatic, and beloved by many, but they require time and effort. Automatic espresso machines offer:
-
One-touch convenience: Brew espresso, cappuccinos, or lattes with a single button.
-
Consistency: Each cup tastes like your favourite café, without guesswork.
-
Versatility: Steam milk, adjust strength, and explore specialty drinks—all from home.
If you love coffee but want speed, consistency, and variety, upgrading this fall is a natural choice.
French Press: A Classic That You Might Outgrow
French presses remain a go-to for many coffee lovers.
Why they’re great:
-
Rich, full-bodied flavour and aromatic coffee
-
Affordable and low-maintenance
-
Ideal for making multiple cups at once
Limitations:
Brands likeBodum, Bialetti, and Cuisinox offer reliable, stylish options for those who enjoy the ritual of brewing—but if you crave espresso or milk-based drinks, it may be time to upgrade.
