WOWSA! That's some potent coffee! (French press thread) |
|
After seeing a French press used on Queer Eye, and being a huge fan of coffee, I bought one last night. I used it about a half hour ago, and now I feel like someone injected sweet sweet caffeine directly into my bloodstream. I'll have to say that it was just about the best coffee I've ever tasted!
Go buy a French press. Right now. Do it.

2. I love coffee from a French Press |
|
I always pre-heat mine with hot water, so it is steaming hot and that tastes better than the coffee that is not as hot from my coffee-maker.

Just about raised my caffeine titer to acceptable levels. We have both a french press and a drip coffee maker-- the key is fresh grind and a generous hand with the beans. Yum.

7. Hint from Helouise-Jay: |
|
Edited on Sat Oct-11-03 11:25 AM by Blue-Jay
If you have one of those metal mesh coffee filter basket-thingies, pour the coffee through that into your cup to catch those nasty little stray gounds.
I'll try it for tea tomorrow. I need to get some of the loose leaf stuff first.

12. I got one half-price and took it on my camping trip |
|
I used to make cowboy coffee in a two liter pan. When I saw that Bodum press for sale at Caribou Coffee, I just had to try it. I had them coarse grind some Peaberry Beans for me and when I tried it...Wow! Good Morning! I never had such good coffee. Sunrise over the Henry Mountains and caffeine in my brain.

although it makes great coffee, it doesn't make enough of it.

14. Get a bigger one or make two pots. |
|
Mine makes 8 cups. Just enough for my morning caffeine fix, or enough for an after dinner treat for two. It rinses out easily, if you need more.
