Opinions on French Press?

Seriously. Can you smell it? That's a cap of freshly roasted daterra floating atop 48-ounces of soon-to-be-pressed coffee. French press? Yes. (Oui.)

Did you drink this yet, Dan? It's probably nearly cold by now.

Seriously. No. But damn I wish I could.

Great picture Dan. Once my pot is ready to press I take a spoon and gently lift that cap out of the pot. I get a much cleaner pour.

I started out setting my Rocky grinder at 40 and steeped for 4 minutes. Now I am experimenting with the Rocky at 25 and steeping for 2-3 minutes. I use 195-200 degree water. I find that 4 minutes at this grind over extracts. The reults are very good. The character of the flavors is definitely improving.

Funny aside that I came across today; In Metals Market, there was a blurb on Severstal CEO promoting their "tea boy" because he fashioned a corporate logo for the CEO and his visitors in their espressos, and amazed them all with his creativity. The kid is now with the boss on the private jet, serving there in his new job.
