• French Press Tips from the CoffeeMeister (Slashfood)

  May 14th 2009 6:01PM Wow, people are so emotional about this topic! I don't mind someone telling me to get a burr grinder because it's clearly superior. That doesn't mean I'll get one, as there's nothing wrong with my cute little blade grinder, which when used creatively (short bursts of power) creates an even enough grind to make me happy. Just as there's nothing wrong with pointing out which extremes one can go to, to make the ultimate cup of french press coffee. Which, if I had the funding, I would totally pursue!
  
  Thanks for the tips.. I tend to get lazy (impatient?) and set the plunger on the top while it's brewing, then once it's pressed will leave the coffee in there until it's gone. Bitter and overcaffeinated, check.
  
  I agree about the Bodum double-walled.. those are dreamy.
