The French press lets the grounds steep for 3 minutes rather than just wash over your coffee like a drip filter. You get a more bold (and sometimes more bitter) coffee from a French press.


you gotta use different grounds?


Yeah, you don't grind the beans as fine as you would for drip brew. I usually buy my beans in bulk, so I have the dude grind a pound for my drip brew and about a quarter pound for French Press.

what brand do you get?

What do y'all think of this stuff? I've been getting this lately, and think it's definitely the best I've got from the grocery store.

i wanted more coffee this morning. my wife hadn't drank hers, so I figured why waste it. I heated it up. She's a vanilla syrup and cream drinker. I thought, meh ... not how I like it, but whatever ...

Man ... it was rank. Why the fuck do people put that shit in their coffee?

I used to drink coffee every day. I quit cold turkey 3 years ago, until this past Saturday. I was at a birthday party for 3 years olds. It was either the fat, snotty girl gets punched in the face, or I break down. I chose the coffee -- from Dunkin Donuts. God, I forgot how much I loved that stuff. The funny thing is, even though I thought I'd be bouncing off the walls, I was relatively calm (I drink tea every day). And I didn't fall into the deep end since. So I should be able to drink a cup every now and then without returning to the 3 cups a day.

What made you quit? I'm a 3 cup a day-er and I've never really thought about quitting. I love that shit way too much.

There's almost as much caffeine in some teas as in coffee. So you're good. But yeah . . WHY quit? It's delicious.

Actually most tea has half or less the caffeine of standard coffees if I remember correctly.

My local roaster stopped purchasing Colombian Peaberry so I'm in a transition phase. I normally drank 3/4s of a pot a day but have since dropped to about three cups. With the change in actual brew I may drop down further. Bought a pound of french roast, which isn't bad but no where near what I'm looking for. I'll be purchasing half-pounds until I settle.

Shouldn't you save that emphatic, liberating statement for a weekday meeting held in the basement of a church?

I was getting really bad acid reflux if I had coffee on an empty stomach. I also noticed that I was starting to get headaches if I didn't drink at least 2 cups of coffee before noon. I decided to try quiting. Once I did, but things went away. I really, really missed it though.

It's my one vice. I quit smoking in '96. I used to eat like crap and now I eat really healthy. Can't give up my coffee unless that shit starts with me. Hopefully it doesn't.

It's pretty much the only time I drink milk, so that's big enough justification for me. :D

If I drink too much before I eat breakfast it's not good. I'm pretty much guaranteed an upset stomach and probably a panic attack as well. Doesn't ever stop me, though.
