I have a stainless steel, insulated French press. Stainless steel because I broke ~3 of the glass ones while dumping out old coffee grounds. Insulated because I love my coffee to be hot.
Here's the process for how I actually brew a Fresh press:
0. Heat up water in electric water pot.
1. Dump a couple of scoops of coffee (I eyeball it, no formula) into the FP.
2. Slowly pour hot water onto coffee in FP in a somewhat circular fashion. "Somewhat" because I make adjustments to make sure all the coffee is getting wet and mixed in.
3. I take a long spoon and stir/whip the coffee, so that there is a rich foam at the top of the FP.
4. Put the top on the FP.
5. Wait 2-20 minutes, depending on the day, then slowly press the strainer down.
The coffee is then ready to drink.
- tlb 9y agoI broke a glass one and it dumped near-boiling water on my pants and resulted in a large 2nd degree burn. Glass boiling water receptacles may be one of those things we someday look back on with horror, like those Victorian mills with overhead belt drives. Stainless is the way to go.
