I've been using my single serving coffee press at work and I must say it gives some of the best tasting cups of coffee. I don't know what it is about presses but they always make good coffee. This one is the one I have… link You can get them cheaper from other companies. Well worth the price. John |

A fresh cup is always better than one that's been sitting in a carafe for an hour. |

I agree. After expertly crafted espresso, french press is my favourite method. |

I found a cheapo press at Goodwill for $5, and it makes great coffee. I'll probably pick up one of the better ones eventually. |

Isn't French Press the kind that gives you cancer? |

Isn't French Press the kind that gives you cancer? First I'd heard of it though a Google search on French Press Cancer does reveal several articles that I did not fully understand.  The gist I got out of them is that something about coffee may increase the risk of CVD and/or Cancer. Whether the French press makes it worse seems to be unproven at this time. |

Isn't that supposed to be called a 'Freedom' press?  The one I have here at work is a Bodum (found it a Crate and Barrel). And it work wonders. Better that the office' Folgers… Though I do not see it on your page. ITs a dual pane glass kind. Keeps the coffee hot fer hours.

"Press" – Is 'Cafetiere' too difficult for Columbines then. |

Not a coffee drinker, but I like the aroma. |

I know somebody that uses one of these.I honestly cant tell much difference between it and my Mr Coffee. He even warms the cup with hot water before pouring the coffee in. While I applaud his tastes and efforts,its too much bother for me. |

Temperature of water is important; coffee water should be no hotter than 60 degrees C or it burns the coffee. For a completely worthless additional bit of trivia, tea water should be 65 degrees…. |

60 degrees? What? 90-95 is what I've read elsewhere. |
| korsun0 | 14 Jul 2009 7:41 a.m. PST |
Absolutely correct; just wanted to throw out a red herring! Coffee should be 93.5 C as should black tea; the tea scale then declines in temperature through rooibos to whites and greens I believe. Drawing time or soaking time also varies….. Personally I leave it all up to the kettle to decide….:) |
