I love what you have said about french press being good as it is and that some people are trying to make it "cleaner" like a filter coffee. Intuitively I knew they were all missing the point of the french press. The sediment and the crust is part of its charme.

The people who are trying to make French Press coffee cleaner like a filter coffee are doing it because they are worried about their cholesterol. kzread.info/dash/bejne/l3tkm9N_YbzIlsY.htmlsi=aRyDN8F-DzD6wWg4 French Press coffee does not filter out all the coffee oils, which could increase cholesterol. French Press coffee drinkers tend to have high cholesterol, which will freak folks out who believe high cholesterol causes heart disease. Also if you don't get your cholesterol in the recommended range by medical authorities, then your doctor will push Statin drugs on you. It is a catch-22 stituation because the coffee oils French Press coffee leaves behind and doesn't filter out also has health benefits. I know from experience. Doctors were urging me to take a Statin drug, which I refused, and my family thought I was going to die from a heart attack. I went to go do a CAC scan and I got the perfect score of Zero despite my high cholesterol. kzread.info/dash/bejne/gIeExdeAmtbafpc.htmlsi=CO05o8ODsXMRX2qW

@@becksfarmhousecoffee Just don't drink French Press coffee too much if you are worried about cholesterol. Nowadays I rarely use my French Press to make hot coffee, and prefer to use my Keurig machine for hot coffee, but I still use it and love it because it is more versitale than a Drip coffee machine. I mean I can use my French Press to to make tea not just coffee. Also you can use it to make cold brew coffee and cold brew tea. The best part is you don't have to put the French Press in the fridge if you make cold brew coffee using the French Press the La Colombe way. kzread.info/dash/bejne/kWGFx8d9gKinnLg.htmlsi=TqcddVIquYRMD_R3

I have been playing with every single French press procedure out there. This one is the winner. It’s the only method that gets all of the CO2 out of the brew and It’s the only method that pushes what is known as “crust” into the water and again, this is after the multiple adding/stirring/adding. The result for me is the nuances that coffee is suppose to have only come out in a French Press. My “go to” for cost/taste/availability is Peet’s Major Dickensons. There is a chocolate or mocha flavor that one simply can’t find in a k cup or pour over but in a French press it’s there. Also the bitterness that some say this coffee has is eliminated by the French press all the while the coffee is more robust and flavorful. I’m still can’t get with it full black but my typical half teaspoon sugar for 12z and some cream make this the equal of a coffee house “anything” and for pennies. For those that are cheap like me, using a cheap Hario grinder and grinding to the very top of the “cup”symbol after tapping the unit on the counter to settle the course grind will give you the 14/1 ratio aka grounds for six ounces. I also use a rain bean press which is cheap and works great. My only deviation is I think if one is using a larger press you should pour the total brew into another container to ensure consistency cup to cup.

I heard somewhere else that you just plunge the filter to the surface of the coffee and just use it as a strainer when pouring so the sediment doesn't get mixed in when you lower it. Does plunging all the way down have some other benefits tastewise?

I’ve heard to just use it as a “strainer” as well, but in practice (at least for me), it typically makes pouring the coffee a lot more difficult. In addition, I personally enjoy the muddy nature of a French Press. ☕️

@becksfarmhousecoffee

8 ай бұрын

Exactly. 14:1 is the ratio we like to use for making our French press coffee. Using our example in the video, we use a French press that holds 980 grams of water. 980 divided by 14 equals 70…so we use 70 grams of coffee for a full French press. You can use this ratio for any unit of measurement, or amount of coffee you’re making, including 1 or 2 cups. You’ll just need to do some math to find your recipe at first. As far as grind time, it doesn’t matter. All that matters is that you grind the coffee coarsely. As far as brewing time, we recommend 3 minutes once your french press is filled up. After 3 minutes, you can press the plunger. 👍🏼
