I just got a french press for coffee, and I have to say, it's totally awesome coffee. Fully flavored, but not bitter. AND LOADED WITH CAFFEINE. i WANT TO GO RUN AROUND AND DO LOTS OF THINGS.

Oui- l'French press is magnifique, no?
We just switched over from the old drip-deal as we were not drinking the whole pot, but yeah- the 'feine is a huge plus in my book. YUM. Now back to my laps...

You can take my French Press when you pry it from my cold dead fingers!

I love it, it's the best way to enjoy coffee when you are not having espresso.

No, but I plan on incorporating the triceps into my rigorous exercise program, so I can more authoritatively press my coffee. Then I'll clean the garage, build some shelves, MAKE MORE COFFEE!!!, wash the cats, floss the kids, change the oil in the salad,polish the drawer slidessteamcleanthebdfggbbbvx 1!!!

You guys ought to try the Vietnamese Iced Coffee next time you get a chance. When I have the time, I'll make this instead of my regular ol' Joe.

(Not officially French press, but same principles)

Combine this with some sweetened condensed milk & you've got yourself a treat!

The best coffee I've had was cold brewed . Yup!
I can't remember the recipe off of the top of my head, but you basically grind up the bean, drop it in a container full o' water and let it sit for about 24 hours in the refridgerator. Then, you just filter the grain out.
Talk about a loaded gun >.<. It's VERY yummy and VERY full flavored & full caffeined this way.

You've never had cold coffee? You have not LIVED. To me the caffeine buzz is somehow slightly more apparent, as is the crash(which, timed correctly, can be nice ).

You can heat it once you have it brewed if you like, but I just tend to drink it cold.

Thunder. No offence, but have you ever thought that enhancing substances and you should not be mixed?

You seem crazy enough without needing help to achieve that state

Sorry to be the one breaking it to you, but a French press is like English cream or Canadian bacon. You only call it French out of France, or Quebec for that matter.

Still, c'est de la bombe.
