Anyone use a French Press for coffee?

[unownunown]

i had one but i dropped it accidentally and it smashed.

i used it for tea a lot more than coffee because i like tea more, but french pressed coffee is really fucking good.

i'm currently laying on my bed with a cup of blak gold, and i was about to say how french presses yield too much sludge for me

WHEN I SPILLED IT ALL OVER MY DAMN BED.

As far as the question of how long to steep, I usually go 5 minutes, though if I'm making just a small amount I think 3 minutes is enough. And yeah, you want to bring your water to a boil and pour it like 30 seconds or so off of the boil, you want it to be just under a boil.

I like to put the grounds and distilled water in a pressurized stone capsule and drop it in the kiln at over 9000 degrees F. At that temperature, the coffee is completely eviscerated. I cool it quick, using an automated robotic arm to transport it into a vat of liquid nitrogen; not too long, or the coffee will be too cold; not too short, or extremely hot vapors will explode from the capsule. Then I add a little milk.

Victoire! I just got back from a thrift shop excursion. After going to four different store and dealing with shitnuts traffic, I found a sweet coffee grinder and a nice French press for a total of $9
