Poll: How Did You Make Your Coffee This Morning?
I was planning on making my coffee this morning with my French Press. I had a new coffee that I wanted to try this morning, and nothing brings out the flavors like a French Press. However, the real world got in the way. I was in a rush with a million things to do and took the short cut, I brewed my coffee this morning with a drip machine. I’m saving the new coffee for tomorrow when I hopefully have more time.
What about you? How did you brew your coffee? Am I missing any choices that I should add to the poll?
February’s poll was What Do You Think About The Trenta?
It seems the majority of you don’t think very highly of it. With 33% of the vote, the number one answer was “I haven’t tried and don’t plan on trying it.”
Number two with 25% of the vote was “Who cares?”

My New French Press Is Not Only Beautiful, But Makes Delicious Coffee
When I spied this French press —AKA press pot, coffee press, coffee plunger, cafetiere (in the UK) or сafetière à piston (in France)—my heart went a-flutter. I think it's so pretty.
Much disdain for the French press coffee-making method exists around Gizmodo headquarters. So I write this post knowing I will face ridicule. But I'm a person who stands up for my beliefs. I love my press pot! I think the coffee it makes is delicious.
Some folks (Matt Buchanan) complain about a "dirty" texture and some other things. That's fair. Using a course grind minimizes grittiness. Maybe even then you'll get a slightly rough texture. I don't mind it. Actually I like a little roughness in the brew. Maybe I'm kind of a macho coffee drinker. Not that Mat and Matt are dainty! I would never say that.
The French press is simple. You put coarsely ground coffee in the bottom, pour hot water over it, give it a stir, let it steep for about four minutes, then press the mesh filter down. It was first patented by Attilio Calimani, an Italian designer, in 1929. Faliero Bondanini patented a version in 1958 that he manufactured in a French clarinet factory. The Danish company Bodum probably did the most to popularize the device. It's more work than an electric coffee maker, but in the early 90s when coffee nerddom emerged, the French press made us feel fancy.
When using a french press coffee maker, what kind of coffee should be used?
Is it possible to use the same coffee (in a french press coffee maker) as I use for a "drip brew" coffee machine?
yes, the size of grind is the same. Get the best you can afford with the strength of roast you like. Never get vacuum packed stuff, it sucks the volatile oils out of the coffee
