Sep 5, 20205 yr Experts Glad your enjoying your French Press My maternal grandfather was a coffee aficionado. He was known for always having 1-2 coffee thermos with him--along with a box of donuts in his trunk at family events. A French press works best with coffee of a coorificer grind than does a drip brew coffee filter, about the consistency of kosher salt. Ideal hot water temp is 199–205 °F (best heated from a tea kettle rather than microwave) with brewing/steeping time about 4 minutes. Loose tea lovers, like moi, can also use it. My older Tevana steep pot on last legs--- think I will ask Santa for one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_press
Sep 7, 20205 yr A French Press also makes great cold brew coffee if you want to take the time to make it. It's a process but if you like cold brew it's worth making a batch. The concentrated coffee is good in the fridge for about 2 weeks.
