i too did the french press thing for a long time. and completely agree that grinding right before brewing yields the best flavor. i think i need to find a burr grinder as mentioned above in the comments.

for when you decide to dabble in espresso. i swear by the 6 cup version.

You guys are going to have to come over to experience my Delonghi Magnifica.

I love French press coffee though. Funny aside — my Aussie friends call it “plunger coffee.”

BTW, Trader Joe’s has a great selection of really tasty coffee if you haven’t had theirs before.

A conical burr grinder is the way to go. I have a friend that used to own and run a local coffee shop, and he always told me 197 degrees F is the right temp for coffee; if you have a Thermapen, you can check easily and quickly, but your advice should work great…. Boil and let it sit for a moment or two.

A conical burr grinder will allow you go get a good, coarse grind, which keeps the grounds out of your coffee when you pour it. It will also allow espresso grind, which is very fine for a pump espresso machine.

Your shots make me wish I had my press at the office!

Oh it makes me so happy to see others drinking Peet’s! When we moved to California, we were SO. EXCITED. to find Peet’s and all it’s wonderfulness!! My two faves are Major Dickasons and their Holiday Blend. Yum-o. I think I’ll go do a little Peet’s and French Press right now.

I love my french press, and the fact I don’t have to have another bulky machine in my cubbard,and my tea pot can be used for tons of things! It saves me money on filters too. It is more of a eco-friendly product in my mind, (and saves electricity since I have a gas stove).

I have just turned my friends on from HI onto them. I’ll never go back to a coffee maker.
