For my coffee consumption, I use a 42 ounce Frieling French Press. I hand grind Jamaican Blue Mountain beans in a Kyocera CM-50 with a modified lower bearing to assure consistency of grind.
I find with French Press, can never get the water hot enough and it cools off too fast. Is there a trick?
My main coffee is Trader Joe French Roast using Krup Burr grinder and drip coffee maker.
As I'm writing, enjoying a bottle of Shiraz, roast duck with Carmen McRae in As Time Goes By.
