I don't drink a lot of coffee so the quick and convenient machines didnt appeal to me as much as learning about the process. Not sure if I'm doing it properly. I just grind up medium roast beans then toss it in the French press with hot water for 5 minutes then pour into a mug to drink.

You want your grind to be much more coarse than your typical ground coffee.

Robot2600 02/16/21 1:03:09 PM #5:	French Press is tastier. Good stuff. You can also easily make "cold brew" coffee in a French Press. It's not the same as ice coffee, which is cooked hot and then cooled, it's brewed over 24 hours in cold water instead and it is delicious. To make cold brew just put the French Press in your fridge for 20-24 hours and don't use hot water when you make it. Serve over ice. <cite>Robot2600 posted [p:950701217] in French Pre...

It's a matter of preference, but it's nothing wrong with leaving it out. You can do whatever you want.

theAteam 02/16/21 1:19:51 PM #15:	I use a french press basically every day. I use the Hoffman method. You can search youtube for it but basically it goes: 1) Add coffee to empty press 2) Add hot water and let brew for 4 minutes 3) Break the crust at the top with a spoon and remove foam that accumulates 4) Let brew another 7+ minutes 5) You're supposed to not press the filter down all the way but simply keep it near the liquid surface to filter out the coffee as you go, but I press it down anyway because I just find it easier that way and I don't think it affects it very much. --- Buffalo Bills Preseason Prediction: 10-6 2020 Final Record: 13-3 <cite>theAteam posted [p:950701796] in French Pre...

Virtuoso's are crazy good wish i could have afforded one at the time lol i think the difference was like <$50 when i got mine. i figured for something i plan on using daily for many years, the extra $50 was worth it. i've read that you can buy just the burrs and install them yourself, effectively turning the Encore into a Virtuoso. this dude on /r/coffee was just talking about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Coffee/comments/lkg9o2/baratza_encore_m2_burr_upgrade_tip_washer/ [LFAQs-redacted-quote] good idea. my evolution was slow and steady over years. i went from : auto-drop with 8 o'clock pre-ground coffee -> auto-drip with Trader Joe's coffee ground at the store -> french press with TJ ground in store -> french press with TJ ground at home -> aeropress with TJ ground at home -> aeropress with better beans (happymug.com) -> pour over with happymug (including scale) -> pour over with happymug + filtered water -> pour over with locally roasted single origin (where i am now) --- Playing: A Plague Tale: Innocence; Hades; Dead Cells; You see it your way, I'll see it mine and I'll be fine <cite>Giant_Aspirin posted [p:950703865] in French Pre...

Virtuoso's are crazy good wish i could have afforded one at the time lol you can buy the virtuoso burr from baratza and replace the one in the encore, it costs like 35 bucks to buy one and the replacement is pretty easy as long as you have a locking vice grip tool. the rest of the encore internals are the same so you're basically turning it into a cheaper virtuoso --- http://giant.gfycat.com/DefensiveSnappyHartebeest.gif https://imgur.com/65rUq1c https://imgur.com/7SNyDjv <cite>Vamp_Aubrey posted [p:950713696] in French Pre...
