You don't even need to spend as much as all that on the press (or "cafetiere" as we call it) and almost all pre-ground coffee is suited to it. Wow, I guess we win for coffee. :D I find it kinda funky that a whole blog post is dedicated to making coffee like this, when it’s THE standard in the UK.

The coffee is uncontested, absolutely the best! I need to find a bigger one, because ours just doesn't make enough. We drink waaaay too much coffee. :) ~Brea We love our French Press, even though we don’t use is very often anymore. The coffee is uncontested, absolutely the best!

Coffee has not been experienced until it is experienced through a French Press. Entirely different beverage altogether and worth every extra ounce of energy put forth. I agree completely.

My answer to questions on a french press usually involves the words "ehhhh" and "too much work". Do you think you could just come and sit at starbucks while I’m working?

To be honest, I didn't even have a clue what it was. After looking in the stores, I had no idea why in the world this was a popular idea! It just seemed messy and way too inconvenient compared to my drip coffeemaker. (Even a couple weeks ago while Christmas shopping, I scoffed! lol) But after reading your post about this, I have to say I am so excited to get one! Stupid Kohl's doesn't carry them so I can't put that nagging gift card to use, but being a huge coffee lover, it is my new obsession! Thanks for sharing!

I've had my French Press now for 2 years and I can't imagine what I used to drink before it. I sure know it wasn't as good as it is now! The only thing I would add to complete the French Press experience is the importance of quality beans. Most beans are over-roasted to maintain a longer shelf-life. If you can, find a local roaster who knows how to roast beans properly. If roasted right, a good pound of coffee beans is recommended to be consumed within 7-14 days. There used to be a place in Ft Wayne called Old Crown. Now those guys knew how to roast their beans! If you're looking for something you can get by mail-order, check out http://www.storyville.com. Their beans are expensive but you need to at least try it once. They're still one of my favorite roasts to drink! As you can see, I love talking about coffee as much as you do. Which is why this comment has stretched on to the length of a full blog post. Dude, I wish we were closer so we could grab coffee together.

We have a big one for the house, and a little one for camping trips. For everyday use, we still use our coffeemaker because it brews into a HUGE stainless steel carafe and keeps my coffee warm all day. I loathe cold coffee and with 2 little kids keeping me busy, I can at least get a hot cup throughout the day. You’re right about how much better the coffee tastes in a french press.

I had to de-lurk. I just zoomed over to amazon to put together some goodies. Just for the heck of it-what type of coffees are your favorites? By the way, your photos are better than real life. fyi.

Ryan, you know, you make coffee like Australian's do? I watch an old TV series on DVD from Australia where they use the water boiler and coffee press on the show. I keep telling my husband we need a coffee press. I bet it would work great for loose leaf herbal tea as well. This is awesome… Ryan, you know, you make coffee like Australian’s do?

Let's see, we'll need to make at least 75 cups on Sat. night and probably about 260 cups on Sunday. I wonder if we'd have time to get it all done. All together, how much was that in gadgets again?
