I had to stop drinking coffee that I made in a French press. I think it was harming my liver I had a dull ache in my right side upper abdomen. I've stopped drinking coffee from a French press and just have regular drip brew.
My theory is it was the cafestol and/or kahweol oils since most other coffee brew methods filter the coffee out oils. The French press coffee is very silky compared to drip coffee it's as if you put glycerin in it.
Caffeine never bothered me which is odd since I used to be very sensitive to it. One sip of coffee just one tiny sip used to make my heart race. Now my usual time is (was) to have my coffee at about 7pm or 8pm. I got used to it and it never bothered my sleep.
- brailsafe 5y agoI love french press, but don't often make it because it's a little messy. I tend to do filtered pour overs more often. If you're interested in getting a bit of both worlds, you might want to try the Clever Dripper, which uses immersion brewing like the french press, and a paper filter like a pour over. Haven't tried it myself, but I hear it's great.
