The advantages of a drip coffee maker compared to a French press are that it's easier to use and it has a larger capacity than a coffee press.
Ease of use
When compared to a French press, a drip machine is easier to use to make coffee. A drip coffee machine's brewing method is automatic; simply measure the amount of coffee grounds and pour it in your machine, check your water level, and flick your switch.
Conversely, a French press uses a manual process that's complicated. You have to consider so many factors such as the brew time, plunge rate, and water temperature. Furthermore, to get the best French press coffee, you'll need to determine the perfect ratio between grind size and steeping time.
However, keep in mind that the results both the French press and coffee machine will yield depend largely on the kind of grind you use; a French press works best with a coarse grind while a coffee maker works best with a medium grind.
Larger capacity or brew quantity
The capacity of a brewer depends on its size. However, the average drip coffee maker makes more cups of brew than a French press. A drip coffee machine can yield 12 cups of coffee in one brewing cycle. Whereas a French press can yield 2 to 4 cups of stronger-tasting coffee in one cycle.
Secondly, drip coffee machines have heating elements that can keep your coffee hot for a long time. A French press doesn't have a mechanism for keeping coffee hot. So you'll have to don't drink all your coffee immediately after preparation.
Low acidity
Compared to a press pot, a drip coffee maker produces a low acid brew. This is because it uses a filter to thoroughly extract coffee. The finished brew has no sediments and it's these sediments that cause acid reflux. So if you suffer from acid reflux, a drip coffee maker is the best brewer for you.
