What is French press coffee?
French press is the name of a brewing method and also the name of the piece of coffee equipment that allows coffee grinds to soak directly in hot water. The spent grounds are then separated from the brewing coffee by pushing a mesh plunger to the bottom of the coffee pot. The French press is widely considered the best method for brewing premium gourmet coffee and enjoying all of its best qualities. Because French press coffee is not put through filter paper, more of the coffee’s essential oils remain in the brewed coffee and provide a stronger aroma.
Drip coffee vs French press: which one has more caffeine?

So, French press coffee ends up having slightly less caffeine than drip coffee per serving.
Drip coffee vs French press which one is better?
French press coffee brewing is about more than coffee. Every step of the journey, from grinding the coffee to cleaning the press, is part of the rich experience. Much of the coffee’s flavor comes from the oils. A drip machine’s paper filter retains most of these oils and they never make it to the cup. A French press lacks a paper filter and ensures the maximum flavor potential. So in this case French press, coffee offers a good aroma and rich flavor. For French press coffee, the grinds stay in the bottom of the beaker throughout the entire process. Because the grinds remain in contact with the coffee, the bean extraction never ends, creating an oily and bold taste. Unfortunately, drip coffee pots are usually poorly made.

So French press coffee is better than drip coffee in many opinions.
