Do you indulge when listening to your rig?

Wolf, Narcissistic and Audiophilistic tendencies can never coexist peacefully.
It is a constant struggle...

"I find with French Press, can never get the water hot enough and it cools off too fast. Is there a trick?"

The trick is actually the Frieling press. All others pale in comparison. It's fully insulated, even the top. The coffee only has to steep for 4 minutes so it's very hot when you pour it. I boil water in a LeCreuset kettle on the stove.

Well...I'm not ACTUALLY good but my rig makes me THINK I am, and that's good enough for me!

Donjr, My unit is not insulated so by the time it's ready to drink, it has cooled.

Frieling looks interesting so will pick one up.

Thanks!

Kinghifi, You won't be sorry. The entire unit is stainless steel. Not one plastic part. It's built like like the company gets what we want. It's very expansive but from what I can tell, it will last forever. The reviews (if you read them) are fully justified. It's only too bad you have to spend that much money to get a well though out unit. It changed the way I drink coffee. I grind 42-44 grams of coffee for it. The Cuisinart auto drip is retired. One thing is that it reveals bad coffee so experiment and find your favorite.
