What is the benefit to using a french press over my automatic coffee maker?

>>17097428

>>17097433
>easy of use: mEdIuM
wtf, did anglo are just retarded?! Even babbies can use it and understand how it works

>brewnig time: 5-8 minutes
WTF is this meme?! 4 minutes tops, otherwise it's over-brew and bitter AF

>>17097425
I do french press, and I think it's much nicer. The texture's more pleasant and I don't like the tinny acid notes of drip coffee. I don't even particularly like using my Hario in comparison.

>>17097433
>Graphic shows all wins go to coffee machine
???

cafestol increases bad cholesterol
I only drink coffee that's been filtered

>>17097460
Skynet Propaganda

>>17097447
I think they're including the time to pour it thru a filter? assuming people use one with the french press

I don't mind the sediment, I just swirl the cup around with a little bit of coffee left, and drink it all in one big gulp.

>>17097522
More likely they include the time to heat the water.

>>17097447
Using it is easy, but cleaning it each time can be a pain in the ass.

because i'm an aeropress hipster. I still have a coffee machine for guests, you do not want to break out the coffee fleshlight if you invite someone inside.

>>17097620
>giving your guests the shitty cheap stuff

shameful

>>17097594
Not if you're
>not my problem
pilled. Just pour the grounds right into the drain

>>17097630
coffee grinds are fine in the drain

>>17097640
t. Big Plumbing Jew who wants your shekels

I pour over because the cleanup on french press annoys me, I'm hate when too many solids end up in my coffee, and I don't have time to fully enjoy a full thing of french press

french press is my go to method of brewing coffee but after many years i notice it lacks something it is still my preffered method but it lacks a certain "oomf" if that makes sense maybe its just my own dumb ass

French Press Coffee makes me poop right away. In a way that other coffees don't.

>>17097731
Is that a pro or con?

*mogs both*

french press is great for large batches. for single cups, a pourover makes more sense.

>>17097433
This is such a useless graph lmao

I prefer the taste of drip.
French goes a little too hard for me.

>>17097425

I did for a year and my cholesterol went out of control

>>17097425
I always get weak taste from french press. If I'm going to wait that long for a coffee, I'll use my moka pot.
If I want something that tastes like a french press without the cleanup, I'll use the phin.
French press only if I need to make 5 coffees at once. But not many people in Australia drink black coffee. So I still end up just making lattes when I have guests.

>>17097460
are you retarded?
french press wins every category

>>17097808
yes i agree with you
moka pot has flavor french is for large batches
and pour over filter device is nice for flavorful single cup

>>17097425
i only steep my french pressed local medium roast beans for 3 mins. ground course

try pour over

mcdonald's coffee is better, just go there

/bread

>>17097886
price per cup is too expensive.
just buy a cheap espresso machine and make it yourself.

>>17097425
I do, but I use my moka pot more because it's better. Though the french press is great for my french roast that's too strong for my moka pot.

Because I'm a lazy fuck and I don't like washing it.

I can barely be arsed to refill the water reservoir in my keurig. What a hassle.

it is not my preferred way of brewing coffee :)

>>17097812
>french press made from glass, plasgic, steel

>>17097425
I only drink expresso out of my handmade, mirror polished brass and copper, lever press expresso machine.

it's what i use
i mostly use it for tea though
annoying to clean but meh whatever

>>17098040
Search your machine for markings that show you how to spell espresso

This shit kills the French press faggot

>>17098366
>plastic
enjoy your infertility and cancer

>>17097425
I add instant coffee to milk then add nestle quick and let it sit in the fridge over night.

>>17097425
I only use my French press for cold brew these days. I prefer pour overs in the mornings right now.

The French press.

My coffee routine today (former chemex, French press, expensive coffee grinder, expensive beans fag):
>drip 12 cups of sole trader joes light medium roast shit
>divy it up between 5 Mason jars
>throw it in the fridge
>enjoy ready made coffee every morning that I don't have to wait to cool down

Prime coffee form imo

>>17098167
All the writing is in Italian, moron. How could that help me at all?

>>17098573
Why dont you just cold brew in the jars of you're going to fridge them anyways? Seems like the drip machine is a waste of money

>>17097425
>wait 6 mins
>press down
>seal isnt perfect so some of the coffee ground slips into the coffee anyway
>pour into cup

>>17097433
>brewing time, 3-10min
the fuck are you doing for it to take THAT long?
fucking using a coffee machine from the 60s?
mine does 6 cups worth in 1min.

>>17099347
Replace the filter

>>17097425
I get Starbucks lol

>>17097425
are you too impatient to wait 6 minutes?
Yeah pretty much. My Bialetti works fine, Quick and tastefull.

>>17097425
>6 minutes
Damn, I've only been waiting 4

>>17097433
>Drip machine
No thank you

Coffee is just a vessel for caffeine you soiboi faggot. If you spend more than one minute popping a k-cup in, brewing it on single cup, and then chugging it so you can get back to work, youre genuinely a fucking faggot. Probably a redditor. You deserve to be lined up against the wall by secret police.

>>17097425
I have a real espresso machine.

>>17097425
cleaning it is annoying. with drip machine you just replace the filter

>>17098871
because it's low effort bait faggot

I'll never understand americans and their obsession with slow, weak brewing methods.
Just get an espresso machine, or if you're poor, a moka pot

>>17099833
>just drink completely different coffee bro

>>17099842
Choosing french press or a drip machine is like getting a beer and mixing it with water.
Which is probably related to the way americans always seem to drink light beer.

>>17099848
>here's an irrelevant analogy as to why you should just stop drinking a beverage and start drinking a different one that i'm telling you to bro

>>17099833
i lived in america for 20 years and never saw a single french press

they always use those mr coffee things to make extra burnt drip coffee

I have the press, mostly out of lack of space in my kitchen. Don't think they make coffee taste any different desu.

French press is literally just a dirtier aeropress

>>17097425
>waiting 6 minutes
Do what you want and enjoy, but that isn't normal.
I use a very fine grind (preferably light roast, though anymore it's almost all medium roast if it says light), not quite espresso fine, but almost, about 15% heavy on the coffee ratio than is normally recommended. Pour in boiling water, stir for about 30 seconds, and press. Depending on mood or time constraints, I wait about a minute and then pour into a thermos if it's a larger brew, or just pour immediately and enjoy the bit of slurry.

>>17099948
>paper filtered coof is cleaner than metal filtered coof

Wow thank you frogman, I never would have realized this on my own. Would you kindly inform me on how dry water is compared to sand next?

>>17097630
Based. I do the same shit, just rinse it with hot water after using and wash it every 3 uses or so

>>17097630
>>17100284
Y'all are retarded that will eventually fill your pipes with mustard gas. The best solution will always be to empty your used car batteries down the sink and use them to store the grounds, then when they're full toss them into the ocean for a safe and legal thrill.

This thread got me horny for some coffee and eggs.

>>17100334
Why the FUCK your eggs look like soggy tortilla chips

>>17097425
I love it
I think is the most practical way and pretty retard proof.
there is no way to fuck up or burn your coffee.

Also as a plus you can use it to froth milk, you get a texture very close to the barista vapor stuff

>>17100336
Cool them low and slow with butter and kept flipping them instead of chopping them with a spatula as they cooked

I do cold brew because I am not a huge fan of hot beverages most of the time.

Should I buy a french press? I would be down to switch it up on weekends...

>>17100345
Basically why I got a french press. I use my cold brew maker for work because it's easier to drink cold coffee on the way to work. But on my days off it's nice to make a hot french press when I have time to let it sit and cool and enjoy it

>>17100340
If you use it for milk though then you either need to brew your coffee another way, pour the coffee into another container then clean the press and foam your milk, or get 2 french presses, it is pretty good for it if you don't have access to a proper milk steamer though.

>>17100341
Disgusting

>>17100345
I'm not personally a huge fan of cold brew but it does work fine for it, though keep in mind you will end up with a LOT of sediment doing that unless you're going to paper filter it after, and at that point you may as well just use a jar and a sieve.

Double walled metal press > glass/plastic shit

>>17099948
kek
but yes frog press is probably the worst way to brew coffee.

>>17097425
Pourover is faster and generally tastes better

Need help: what is the best way to make coffee when you're too lazy to use a coffee maker.

>>17100387
cold brew
automatic espresso machine

>>17100368
I use the same press. I brew the coffe for 4,5 minutes, when the time is almost up I heat the milk, drain my coffee and quickly wash the french press, then use it with the milk

>>17097425
Paper filtered tastes better.

And no I'm not going to french press then pour through a filter, that's retarded. If I want the benefits of immersion brewing I'll just use something like the hario switch, but I'm fine with pourover so I don't see the point.

>>17100404
It's completely doable, which is why I mentioned it in my post, it's just not a workflow I'm interested in personally. I don't want to have to stop and clean my press in the middle of my routine, I'd rather be able to take care of the milk while my coffee is brewing if I'm going to use it.

>>17100405
pourover is the most faggy and pretencious method, you look like a total faggot pouring a thin stream of water with that ridiculous kettle

>>17097594
you shouldn't clean it each time just rinse it out

>>17100448
Maybe if I chop off the spout it will stand a chance of ever being accepted as a woman, unlike you.

>>17097777
waste of quads,
overbrood gimmick.

>>17100448
Nigger retard

>>17097425
inferior to every brewing method and only good for cold brew or frothing milk

>>17098372
Why would he worry about that if he already posts here?

>>17097425
Because coffee beans are garbage. Coffee leaf tea is where it's at. Coffee is best enjoyed steeped, not pressed or percolated.

Master race.

>>17097425

>>17097425
yeah I am unfortunately

>>17097425
Because it's weak shit.
Moka pot is the best. Strong, flavorful, affordable, simple.

>>17100811
>Slow, wasteful shit
>Master race
Kek

>>17100908
Yeah, that single sheet of unbleached paper is just horrific. Pour-over takes 5 minutes.

>>17100811
>what if we took all the shitty parts of drip coffee but remove he automation?

>>17097425
>6 minutes
Too long. You know what fuck you, I'm gonna go make some coffee.

Benz go in

>>17101100
Dirt come out

>>17101103
Hot Wawa go in

French press poured through one of those super fine metal drip cone filters gives you as clean a cup as drip, but with the flavor of French press and zero grit.

>>17101111
Pres like a french woman

>>17097629
No, he said he's making his guests normal coffee and drinking the aeropress brew himself

>>17101136
Blamo coffee.

>>17100977
They specifically method of pourover is slow and wasteful, because it uses thicker papers and makes them way larger than needed by requiring you to fold them yourself.

V60 is superior

>>17101141
Add a splash of milk and enjoy

>>17099833

>>17101103

>>17097777
>drinking coffee sand
No.

>>17097425
I chipped the spout on mine, rec me a good new press please. Ideal size would be 1.2l but seems like only 1 and 1.5l options are available here (I'm in muttland so 32 or 48oz really). Best if available on Amazon cos I'm lazy, but I don't want one out of the million no name chinkshit ones listed.

>>17101560
I have the large version of this the Frieling makes. Double wall stainless, and the press is just a screen sandwiched for support with one screw. It's been going strong for over 5 years almost daily use, sometimes multiple brews. It's picked up some scuffs and scratches, but no corrosion, even on the threads. Screen is the same size of Bodum, so they're easy to replace if needed. The one thing that I wish they designed differently is that the groove for the pour spout goes deeper on the inside than it appears to on the outside, which can be a little annoying on the press, but it's a minor complaint and I got used to watching the water level so I don't make a geyser when I press. It's the best press I've had out of many.

>>17097425
Do you even vacuum?

Comfy posts anon, I like your entire kitchen setup and vibe, you seem like a cool person.
I do agree with >>17101256 though, in that I would grind the beans for a few seconds more - enough to get rid of about the top 20% largest pieces in your grinder. I have the same grinder. I am not convinced on burr grinders though, and certainly not manual grinders. My friends blow a lot of time and cash on coffee accessories, and I've yet to see any dividends from their autism besides that they are comforted by the ritualistic aspects of it.
>>17101560
The size depends on what you use it for. I usually make 3 mugs' worth at a time, using my Kuissential "8-cups"* / 34 oz press, and I like it a lot. The only drawback I can think of is that the plunger doesn't depress quite as far down as I would like, which doesn't usually affect me because I use a lot of benz. It wouldn't be as convenient for making one cup at a time though (I doubt any French press is, though - I have a one-mug press and it's a retarded amount of effort vs a pour-over w/ a reusable filter). I like that it is made out of metal; I once exploded a glass press trying to wash it out by accidentally creating a pressure bubble with my sponge.

*bullshit 4-oz "coffee" cup, not standard

>>17099948

Aeropress are ok, I used one for years but now I only use it for camping or in an emergency when we have no power because of a storm or something.

This was on sale for $2 so my gf brought one home. What would you guys make with it? I might just make it with a red sauce like the picture on the packaging but that seems kinda boring so I was wondering if you guys had any interesting ideas

>>17102139
You could get some ground beef and make a meatloaf

>>17102139
Basil leaf in the pic makes me want to try something like this:

I've done similar with pork and it was quite tasty. I didn't use a French press for it, though, so I can't comment on that.

Because I don't drink coffee. The french press is the wife's and she's one of those dorks who can't do shit until she's had her coffee. So I have to make it. That's right, I'm supposed to perform the coffee addict, time-wasting, messy, early morning brewing ritual for something I don't drink. And she needs creamer, and stevia in all the proper proportions. She's getting a single cup keurig for xmas. Fuck that french press. I so hate coffee people. The Devil's brew that grips and enslaves so many low vibrational people is just a drug that corrupts the soul and weakens the mind leading only to ruin and despair. When these people are on their deathbeds, will they reflect on all the time they wasted brewing and drinking the liquid that enslaved them? No, those will be their fondest memories, their children and family forgotten, the missed opportunities and precious moments squandered are nothing compared to the rush of slurping their favorite poison.

>>17102511
Coffee drinkers have lower all cause mortality than people who don't drink coffee. So much for a "poison".

>>17102524
Thanks for weighing in on the matter, Big Coffee shill. Are your results replicable? Who funded the studies? Any conflicts of interest? Peer review? Let me guess, you did a meta-study, right? I'll stick with tea, thank you.

looks like it's the same price as an espresso machine.

I like to do americano with a moka pot. But most of the time I drink tea, so what do I know.

>>17097425
i do french press - but i wait however long i want.

visited a friend recently who made coffee and was like "it's not ready it needs to steep for 7 more minutes" or however long. drove me fucking NUTS

>>17097428
The real answer is you look like a fancy asshole when in reality you're just lazy as shit.
I ain't even being sarcastic, it's great.

>>17100387
If you grind medium/coarse you can just put your coffee powder into a beaker/jar/container, drop water (boiling or something) inside, wait between 5 and 10 minutes and then if you pour slowly into your cup the powder will remain on the bottom. Well, most of it.

>>17097425
The true trick is cold brewing loose leaf tea in a french press.

>>17100340
Imagine how awesome it would be if coffee brewing temperature was close to milk heating temperature

but its not
