if you give up on the french press here is a drip that brews at the correct 200* temp that wont break your wallet.

I was wrong, some substance in unfilitered coffee and turkish coffee can elevate cholestorol. Sorry for the error.

Hey, I think we all learned something. I know barely anything about tea, and even less about coffee.

is this the thing where you dump grinds in, then pour in hot water and press down the handle that has the really fine screen filter on it.... ? i got one for a gist once from starbucks, works great....

Today at Amazons Fri Sale, they sell this 12pc Bodum French Press gift set:

Not bad for $30 shipped..think I'll get one before the day ends.

Though I regularly drink one of those Vincafe 3-in-1(w/cream & sugar)Vietnamese coffee in sachets(my other "stash"..168 sachets of Viet coffee

). My quickest cuppa Joe made in..less than 5 secs flat.

Update: I received the Bodum 8cup 12pc Frenchie Press today pronto from Amazon..but upon opening, one of the borosilicate cups got damaged in transit via Brown.

I then immediately called Amazon CS and complained of damaged goods received...without much hassle, they agreed to ship a replacement set today overnite.

Eventually, I would end up having 2 FP sets..one at work and home, Bodum 23pcs all for $30.

Amazon!

I'll be ****ed. I just read this "MSN Health & Fitness" article, and tdpark wasn't far off...

"Canadian researchers discovered that men who downed the caffeine equivalent of 1 to 2 cups of coffee an hour before a high-sugar meal experienced 16 percent higher levels of blood glucose afterward, compared with when they consumed a caffeine-free placebo. An important point: When it's not paired with sugar, caffeine increases the rate at which your body burns fat. So, whenever possible, drink the coffee but skip the doughnut, muffin, or bagel. Opt for breakfast foods like eggs and fruit instead; they have little or no effect on blood glucose." http://health.msn.com/dietnutrition/articlepage.aspx?cp-documentid=100123673 (it's a two-pager, the quote is from the second)

Enjoy [both of] your FP set(s) vwoom!

i have never had a cup of coffee that came from a french press. i see where my local starbucks has em'. if i'm not mistaken, under $40. still using my mr coffee.

i did buy one of those gold mesh type permanent filters though. rinse and re-use. cool. i guess

I bought a coffee press as a backup in the event of a long power outage (8 hrs for coffeee), and for camping, but mine is a 'Freedom Press'.

I gave the replacement full set to my Chinese co-worker babe. The FP could also be used to make tea..she's into Chrysanthemum tea(from scratch)bigtime.
